Re: named triggers diald

Thanks for the quick reply guys. What you both have said is rather
interesting. First I only have a reverse address for 0.0.254.169 not for
X.X.co.za. Secondly, I don't have entries in the hosts file for the
workstations on the network. When I disable pop in the xinet.d it doesn't
dial out, but then pop doesn't work. I have no idea how to configure pop not
to look for client IP's.

Regards
Mirco

where the PC is from (if the IP confirms the name). Your named should first
of all look into hosts file. If it finds the info there, should not go
further. Some POP servers can be configured to "not to look for IP of the
client".
