I setup a DNS server on my machine last night with my own 'domain', and it
works great.
However, I have a question. In my file I have
news CNAME news.cgra1.ab.wave.home.com.
www CNAME www.cgra1.ab.wave.home.com.
mail CNAME mail.cgra1.ab.wave.home.com.
and I can just put 'mail' in eudora and it automatically goes out to the
proper server and life is good.
But in nslookup when I type in mail I get:
Name: lh1.rdc1.ab.wave.home.com
Address: 24.64.2.54
Aliases: mail.mydomain.net, mail.cgra1.ab.wave.home.com
My question is the alias mail.mydomain.net. Will this ever cause a problem
and can I/should I get rid of this and do it another way.
While I'm asking questions, is there no way for DNS to look at my hosts
file instead of me having to type in:
workstation1 A 192.168.1.2
etc...
And yes, my host.conf file says "order hosts,bind" but DNS doesn't seem to
look at that file, so from my windows machines, the hosts file might as
well not exist.
Thanks in advance!
