Window allows one to specify a DNS domain name and DNS server for a particular interface. So all DNS queries of your tinc interface are sent to a particular dns server. For instance windows tinc clients can use a particular dns server on a private LAN available only to clients inside that NAT or tinc clients.
NetworkManager allows you to specify the same, but the tinc interface does not show up in NetworkManager. /usr/share/doc/initscripts*/sysconfig.txt shows that ifcfg-ethX files allow you to specify particular DNS servers for that interface (sorta anyway because the docs say it just gets added to /etc/resolv.conf). So adding DNS1=<ip of my DNS server available over tinc net> to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 may get me somewhere to this goal. But how can one add DNS1 to the tinc interface instance or at least /dev/net/tun? Can i just create a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-tincvpn file and put the DNS entries in there? Is there something i can do with tinc-up to set DNS for the tinc interface? i am not going to add individual hosts to /etc/hosts. man host.conf and man resolv.conf do not have the answer. i thought for sure /etc/networks would be the solution, but 'man networks' says that only class A, B, C networks are supported. CIDR notation is not. _______________________________________________ tinc mailing list [email protected] http://www.tinc-vpn.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinc
