hi; I read the DNS HOWTO and it seems promising, but it isn't for beginners. I understand little bit how Internet and domains work. I have DSL and one PC and I'm planning to host my pesonal web site at home - just one site first. Is it possible to use bind 8 and is there any other thing I need to configure. Of course, I know how to edit /etc/named.conf, but for example if my IP address is: 12.345.678.900 and my domain name is www.gelah.org, how many files should I have under /var/named ? and how many computers do I need if I want to setup nameservers. I'm new to Linux, so please give me long and step by step explanation. By default bind installs 3 files and 1 directory under /var/named. I know how to edit those 2 files and maintain the root.hint one. I think I will need to set up primary and secondary DNS. Is there anything my ISP needs to know? If I need extra files to be created what should I put. Maybe one of you alreay has a similar scenario, so could you email yours to me please? I think I'll have 8 IP addresses with 5 of them be used for public and I can buy another cheap PCs. thanks -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
