In the pic attached above: "use router as DNS server". So it does do DNS caching, and I guess the form allows to map MAC-IP-name in one go. Cool.
To catch-up on what snarlydwarf said, I concur about dnsmasq. It is a great package, tiny and featureful. It does have a dns-dhcp dynamic mapping, so machines that declare a name when requesting an IP from the DHCP server are added to the DNS cache. No need for static IPs and name mappings. Very nice, and deploying the same feature with ISCs server (dhcpd, bind) is vastly more complex. dnsmasq is really a good choice when looking to run a dns and/or a DHCP server on a linux machine. On top of it, a few years ago I had a chat with the developer, and found him very friendly and supportive. -- epoch1970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73714 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
