Re: dns
sure, just specify:
primary my.private.domain file.db
and all dns lookups for my.private.domain will work. If you're talking about
your "customers'" machines, that's a little tougher... the easiest trick is
to set them up to have cacheing DNS nameservers, and set:
forwarder <ip address of your nameserver>
slave (this is the obsolete keyword, look in the docs for the new
keyword)
I mention using cacheing DNS servers on your customer boxes. Since you're
on a radio network, this is a good idea. If you can't do that, then make
sure your customers always point ONLY to nameservers that can speak
authoritatively for my.private.domain.

Subject: dns
I would like to set up a dns on linux. This name server will serve a
private domain encompassing a wireless network.
I will very shortly have dial-in access to a ISP to provide internet
visibility to wireless network users.
Is it possible to configure a private dns to resolve a name query and in
the event the query fails forward the query to the Internet Service
Providers domain name server ? Private names must be resolved locally by
the linux dns and never require resolution over the internet.
The private domain, at this time is not recognized by the internet
community and names specific to the private domain cannot be resolved. Each
private name would be entered manualy into a private dns cache.
Any suggestions ?
