The DNS server should resolve names/addresses for the local hosts (LAN) as well as for the internet. Will one of you please give a link(s) to a howto which is best for novice users of Linux? Thank you very much.
Please wrap your mail.
You don't need Samba to use the Etch box as a DNS / DHCP server, at
least not if you're using fixed IP addresses (or DHCP with address
reservations by MAC addresses) on the LAN. If you aren't, you'll need
some way to get the hostname / IP pairs into the DNS server.
