The SuSE documentation says that 'it makes absolute sense to use a nameserver if you have squid running' OWTTE, so I went through the chore of writing a nameserver according to the bind documentation.and the helios earth example in the SuSE manual a few weeks ago for our small school 22 computer lan with samba and a mix of w98 and 7.3 boxes. Before that we just put the client names in /etc/hosts. I can see no advantage in having spent so much time in doing so. What are the advantages? Thanks, Steve.
