Re: question about hostname



Hi,

A couple of questions, subsequently ...

This is my current /etc/resolv.conf:

search speakeasy.net
nameserver 216.231.41.22
nameserver 216.231.41.2

... speakeasy is my DSL provider. So I would add the line

domain burningclown.com

... and the line beginning 'search' should change, too? The DNS servers
are speakeasy's, of course.

So I can do this? Or would someone at speakeasy need to do this? or
someone at the ISP that hosts burningclown.com (not speakeasy). Whew!

Merrily,
