Hi, Like one of the previous mails : you have indeed bind, djbdns ... those are the most used. Bind is the "heavier" one. for the linux router question. i thought about something to... www.smoothwall.org A complete firewall solution in an ISO image working with iptables. Possibilty of configuration through the web. used to have it myself on a 80486 computer and it work perfectly! regards chris _____________________________________________ Make money while you work !!!

...

1) How many types of DNS servers are there?

A couple of well know ones, 'djbdns' and 'bind'.

...

2) Can Linux be used as a router instead of Cisco routers?

Yes. There's the Linux Router project: http://www.linuxrouter.org/ -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A. P. J.

What do you mean by types?

...

2) Can Linux be used as a router instead of Cisco routers?

Yes. If you just need simple NAT then you could easily use YaST to configure SuSE Firewall2. Otherwise, you can write your own rulesets and have IPTables use them instead. Victor

Leo, Save yourself some heartache and try Shorewall. Read the installation Guide and it'll make all this magic seem a little less magical & you wont need to learn all the iptables stuff. Tom Eastep did all that for you. Richard
