Foreword: My network is very strange,or at least atipical and,briefly speaking,structured as follows... I have a registered hostname which is ik5bcu.cjb.net with CNAME linux.ik5bcu.ampr.org: [marco@linux marco]$ dig linux.ik5bcu.ampr.org ; <<>> DiG 9.2.2-P1 <<>> linux.ik5bcu.ampr.org ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 61183 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;linux.ik5bcu.ampr.org. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: linux.ik5bcu.ampr.org. 169916 IN CNAME ik5bcu.cjb.net. ik5bcu.cjb.net. 60 IN A 212.141.182.207 I use a dynamic DNS service offered by www.cjb.net so my IP address changes every time I issue a new dial-up connection. What I would like to know is if can I have any chances to configure BIND so that it works as DNS for my network;I don't pretend to have a public and performing DNS server,but a functional DNS expecially to serve the requirements of my SMTP server:QMAIL. I have installed the latest release:bind-9.2.2-23 along with caching-nameserver. This last (caching),tested just yesterday,already gave me proof of very good performer for its speed in comparison to my old /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf only system. Thanks for reading.
