I have been trying to get my server to act as DNS server, however, have no luck. Read a lot of emails etc on the subject, but still no luck.
I have 4 computers, one of which is a server, all using nfs. DHCP server is the router going to the cable modem. Setting up with yast, I have it setup as master for the site. Tried slave, but it asks for the master dns server which will not take a name, only an ip address. The hsd1.ca.comcast.net server will not return ping and comcast says it is a dynamic server so there is no fixed ip address available.
Question: How does the local DNS server get the host names from the network computers?
Resolve.conf is as follows
nameserver 192.168.0.1 search hsd1.ca.comcast.net sha-server.site
The nameserver is the ip address of the gateway and DHCP.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Basically you need to setup your own zones and enter the info necessary for your network. I believe there is a YaST module for that purpose. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
