Taking your advice I decided to make nubble (the router) answer the DNS
service request. After all that is what this router is suppose to do in
the lan. But now I am stumped on that one. From nubble I can ping
127.0.0.1, I can telnet 127.0.0.1 and I can ping capeblanco by name or
ip adder. But after starting the named daemon and using nslookup to find
capeblanco I keep getting the answer
[root@nubble /etc]\% nslookup
Default Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
> capeblanco
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
*** localhost can't find capeblanco: No response from server
Shouldn't the local lan machine always be availible through the
localhost?
