Re: dns and exim troubles ...
Hi Scott, Bob, and others ...
OKay, here's at least *some* of the information I forgot
in my first email ...
First of all, it all happens locally, without any network
connection whatsoever, or only a connection to my second
(old) box. This second box is set up nearly identically
(at least as far as I can see), and works.
My hosts file looks like this
--- start of /etc/hosts ---
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.1.1.1 smrgol.2b1.de smrgol
--- end of /etc/hosts snipped ---
The following two files are identical on both boxes.
--- start of /etc/resolv.conf ---
domain 2b1.de
nameserver 134.100.33.240
nameserver 134.100.9.61
nameserver 151.189.0.65
nameserver 151.189.13.35
--- end of /etc/resolv.conf ---
--- start of /etc/host.conf ---
order hosts,bind
multi on
--- end of /etc/host.conf ---
I have no DNS server running locally, only when I'm
connected to the net (thruogh a modem).
Does this help?
Thanks so far,
Ingo
