Do you want that subdomain to appear to the world?  If so, you need to ask
your ISP to configure it for you.

 Hey Folks,

 scenario: I've just connected a pc via satalite to the net, now I want 
 it to show up as a sub-part (is that the right term?) on our domain.
 
 ie  our domain is foo.net
 and we want it to show up as 104.foo.net
 
 we already have named running locally in the Home Office
 
 what should I do?
 

Ummm, if you run the authoritive name server for foo.com then add a line
like this to the zone file for foo.com

104 IN  A   127.0.0.1

But replace 127.0.0.1 with the machine (104's) internet IP address.

Also make sure you update the timestamp at the top of the zone file.
Its a number like 2003100401, replace it with the date in a format like
this MMDD and just add 01 to the end, incase you make another chage
that day then you can just +1 so its 2.

After all that reload you name servers config. In debian

/etc/init.d/bind9 reload

(assuming your using bind9 and installed it via apt)

Otherwise refer to any docs you got with your name server

Best of luck :D

Like I said, I'm new and working a new job.  Named is running on Red Hat 
(either pc1 w/7.3 or pc2 w/9.x, I'm not sure).  Regardless, I think you 
gave me enough to start with come monday, well at least I have a 
direction to head, anyway.

thanks  -mac
