Ok, dunnit. Now I've got a namd running smoothly on my linux-box.
But: diald does start dialing if I for eg. enter a URL on a client's
browser.
I get the following in my /var/log/messages:
--
Mar 17 21:38:14 neutron named[225]: ns_forw: sendto([195.170.128.4].53):
Network is unreachable
--
195.170.128.4 is my ISP's primary nameserver. But if I enter a IP-address,
dialing is triggered automagically. I can't get it as I beleive that I've
configured
my named correctly.
My named.boot is the following:
--
directory /var/named
cache . named.ca
primary 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa named.local
primary 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa named.hypnokosmos
primary hypnokosmos named.inet
forwarders 195.170.128.4 195.170.128.5
--
My named hypnokosmos (which is my workgroup):
--
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1999031601 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
;1 IN PTR localhost.
6 IN PTR neutron.hypnokosmos.
5 IN PTR photon.hypnokosmos.
1 IN PTR positron.hypnokosmos.
--
And my named.inet:
--
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1999031601 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
neutron IN A 192.168.0.6
IN MX 10 neutron
positron IN A 192.168.0.1
IN MX 10 neutron
photon IN A 192.168.0.5
IN MX 10 neutron

I should also add that once the link is up, all DNS-queries are running
smoothly
as you might see in the config files. It's just that a DNS-name (is it the
correct term?) query does not trigger dialing, but a IP-query does it.
Strange.
This message should propably have been posted in a linux-networking related
newsgroup but as it's also realted to diald I'll post it also here. Tanks
for any assistance (which I've already received more than my share) in
advance.
