I used to have my dns on my firewall/imap/dhcp/... machine. But i found out that if something goes wrong with dns, everything else tumbled down. Hence i going to migrate my dns-functionality to two machines doing nothing else.
As I mentioned earlier, the main purpose of running Dnsmasq is for name resolution of my local devices. I have a 2nd external DNS configured on any computer with a static address. I also use a DNS service for when I'm away from home. It provides an alias to the long host name for my IPv4 address, but also AAAA records for my IPv6 addresses. I suppose I could add the local RFC 1918 addresses for my local devices to that external DNS, so that I could fall back to it if my local DNS failed, though it of course woudn't work for elsewhere. I currently have configured an old consumer grade firewall/router that I could drop in as a replacement, should my Linux box firewall/router fail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
