No, they wont. Ever. The hosts file is private to the machine having it.
Define it in bind files instead.
Yes, but WHERE is this defined in bind, Carlos.
Not being a bind wizard, I was asking specifically how I might add a name such as "securitycam" to bind so that windows users can just key that into their web browser without having to know the IP of said camera.
Not an easy answer. I can manage my bind configuration, but I'm not so expert as to offer advice... I could very easily give the wrong advice by mistake. Anyway... You should have in /etc/named/zone/ two files for your zone, one direct and one inverse, like: 1.168.192 mydomain The first: ; Primary file for the 100.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain generated on Tue Jan 22 21:58:58 CET 2002 $TTL 86400 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. SOA myhost.mydomain. root.myhost.mydomain. ( 2006021019 28800 7200 604800 86400 ) NS myhost 1 PTR router.mydomain. 11 PTR myhost.mydomain. The second: ; Primary file for the mydomain domain generated on Tue Jan 22 21:58:58 CET 2002 $TTL 86400 mydomain. SOA myhost.mydomain. root.myhost.mydomain. ( 2006021019 28800 7200 604800 86400 ) NS myhost MX 10 myhost ; Definición de los hosts router A 192.168.1.1 myhost A 192.168.1.11 MX 10 myhost And then, those files have to be referred to in /etc/named.conf: zone "mydomain" in { type master; file "zone/valinor"; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" in { type master; file "zone/1.168.192"; }; There is a howto in the distro. And of course, if there is a Yast module, use it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
