Dial out on boot of Woody box
I have just installed Woody on a new box (named galadriel). My old box
(Potato, named gandalf) acts as DNS server and internet gateway (ISDN dial
out).
When I booted Woody, I noticed a dial out to my ISP on my old box. This dial
out seems to be caused by DSN requests from Woody near the end of the boot
sequence.
Here is an extract from a bind logfile:
***start***

***end***
So it seems that the Woody box sends two requests.
For galadriel.fjphome.nl (fully qualified name) which gets resolved by my
nameserver.
For galadriel. which my nameserver can't resolve and forwards to the
nameserver of my ISP (which of course also can't resolve it).
Questions
- Why does Woody request the unqualified name after the fully qualified name
has been resolved?
- Can I stop Woody from making the unqualified request?
- Can I make my nameserver resolve the unqualified request?
TIA,
Frans Pop
P.S. I am very happy with Woody so far!!
