Hello Charles,
Your response is quite sufficient. I have not gone to the details of
FreeS/WAN docs yet.
All I know is that it is dependent on a DNS server, specificly the
standard linux DNS server
which is Bind. All I wanted to know is if the tinydns package is enough
to work with
FreeS/WAN. And you said yes. Hence, excellent! And thanks!
Regards, Vic

Subject: Re: [leaf-user] FreeS/Wan and tinydns
Can FreeS/Wan make use of tinydns instead of bind8? I've read docs
from
J.Nilo's site and
I'm sold that tinydns is a much better choice compared to bind.
However,
I also would like to
setup VPN using FreeS/Wan (already patched my kernel). But will
FreeS/Wan work with tinydns?
The short answer is yes, but actually, your question doesn't make
much
sense.
Tinydns and bind are both DNS servers. While a DNS server is critical
in
getting any domains you may be in control of to resolve for folks out
on the
internet, it doesn't have much to do with name resolution on your
local
hosts. What really matters is the contents of the /etc files hosts,
resolv.conf, nsswitch, and similar.
