again, do you need a non-unixlike host to be able to access these machines by their given names? of not, the /etc/hosts file would be quite sufficent ie: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.0.2 foo.localnet foo 192.168.0.3 blah.localnet blah 205.253.202.11 myfoo.myisp.com myfoo 205.253.202.12 myblah.myisp.com myblah assuming this was on machine foo, and you wished to connect to blah, you would only need to type <A HREF="http://blah/~uzer"><A HREF="http://blah/~uzer</A">http://blah/~uzer</A</A>> yadda yadda, by default domain queries get sent to the hosts files, then the resolv.conf is used...

have ou considered just using the /etc/hosts file? or do you need a non-unixlike OS to be able to make queries?

I am on SuSE 5.2 and I need to configure name service to establish a couple of local host names on my network even though I have only a dial-up connection to the Internet.
What I need is actually *just one* additional local host name so Netscape will see it and not go looking for it on the Internet.
Here is my attempt to use /etc/hosts:
/etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 runner.aaronsrod.com runner 192.168.1.1 slash.aaronsrod.com slash ----------
/etc/resolv.conf search runner.aaronsrod.com #olypen nameservers nameserver 208.200.248.1 nameserver 208.200.251.97 ----------
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.1
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1> ServerAdmin dwj@runner DocumentRoot /usr/local/httpd/htdocs ServerName runner ErrorLog /var/log/runner-error_log TransferLog /var/log/runner-access_log </VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.1> ServerAdmin dwj@runner DocumentRoot /home/slash/public_html ServerName www.slash.aaronsrod.com ErrorLog /home/slash/logs/slash-error_log TransferLog /home/slash/logs/slash-access_log </VirtualHost> ----------
When I try to access <A HREF="http://slash.aaronsrod.com"><A HREF="http://slash.aaronsrod.com</A">http://slash.aaronsrod.com</A</A>> in Netscape, it just goes to /usr/local/httpd/htdocs instead of to /home/slash/public_html.
What is the correct way to set up the /etc/hosts approach?
Thanks, Dwight
