My questions: If *.site doesn't work anymore as a valid local domain, what is a good alternative name?
.local or .bjoernvoigt or .anythingelseyoucanthinkup
Mind you, your /etc/hosts should have the appropriate .site entries for your mailserver.
Thank you. ".local" is OK. My DSL router suggests ".lan". I will probably use the same TLD and the same hostnames on my router and on my PCs.
/ /etc/hosts is not enough. The hostname occurs here:
/etc/hostname /etc/HOSTNAME /etc/resolv.conf /etc/hosts /etc/sendmail.cf [...]
Assuming you don't run a local nameserver, my point is that /etc/hosts is enough for your name resolution. If you have your three hosts "tom.site", "dick.site" and "harry.site" listed in /etc/hosts on all your machines, none of them should have reason to do external lookups for those hosts. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.0°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
