Strange connections

Strange connections

[Rene Starneauld]

Hi,

I have a firewall with diald to establish connection on a RTC modem.
But when I do a telnet to my firewall on my local network, diald 
establishes a connection to my provider before connecting to my 
firewall. The same happens when I try to read newsgroup that are on my 
Firewall also via leafnode.

Is there something wrong with my route??

Any ideas, Thanks

All my hostsnames are on both servers with the right address.
By the way, a cennection is established when I type the "route" command 
on the firewall.
Can this help?

Hi,

Sounds more like a reverse DNS lookup, try typing route -n and see of that also brings up the link, if it doesn't then you need to set up reverse lookups for your IPs.

OK, route -n does not bring up the link, then I must set up reverse DNS 
lookup, thats fine but how do I do that.
Thanks

Add all your internal hostnames and their ip addresses to /etc/hosts

Every ip which you can see with route -n?
You even need the ip of the tun|tap|sl interface, both the remote and the local part.
