Hi - Wonder if anyone has set up a split DNS server running on a single system, with two NICs, under openSuSE? If so, did you rework any of the daemon scripts to start a second named daemon? How did you reorganize the named directories in the chrooted dir /var/lib/named? Looking at the scripts this looks rather hairy, so if someone has already done this, sure could use some pointers and reworked scripts...
Have a look at dnsmasq:

It's in the repos too.

Thanks Lew for this pointer... I like the idea of DHCP being integrated with DNS but given the complexity I have already faced getting DHCP to work properly in our environment, for example to assign static addresses to systems with dual boot OS's using the same MAC addresses, not sure I want to try and tackle a whole new tool set. I will keep it in mind as a possible alternative... From my research, I need to run split DNS servers so that domain names that are known externally, from the internet, can also be used internally. It appears I either have a choice of running two (split) DNS servers, or find a router that will do inside to inside NAT/PAT. Not an easy task as none of the router manufacturers advertise such capability and so far I have had no luck getting answers to questions I sent some of em... So am looking at split DNS servers instead... Marc.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
