Hello all! This is an embarrassing newbie question; I have a caching only DNS server on my firewall (Smoothwall) But i want to add my local LAN machines on the resolver (192.168.1.0/24 network) As i use several temporary setups on that LAN, its a smaller pain adding the hosts file every time i add a new machine. Can i add the static addresses of the servers and workstations that are permanent? Also, is there a way to add a specific DNS hostname-scheme for DHCP? For example, all boxes that get a DHCP lease gets the name DHCP_<ipnumber> -- -- /Rikard ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- email : rikard.j@rikjoh.com web : http://www.rikjoh.com mob : +46 (0)736 19 76 25 ------------------------ Public PGP fingerprint ---------------------------- < 15 28 DF 78 67 98 B2 16 1F D3 FD C5 59 D4 B6 78 46 1C EE 56 >
