Yes, I did. I discard DNRD, because too big and because we can't
learn nothing using it. I added "named" and a new setup/named.
The configuration script is smart enough to instruct named to
become the DNS master for a simple class C network.
The only problem I facied is in contacting the external (true)
nameserver when connect.
The parameters "forwarders" do not seems to work in my release.
So I create on-the-fly a root-zone containing only the external
official nameserver, from the ISP.
The /etc/named.boot look like;
======================================
directory /etc/named
cache . root
include loopback
include localnet
include forwarders
include options
======================================
while the /etc/named/root look like:
=================================================
. 6D IN NS bogus.root.org
bogus.root.org. 5w6d16h IN A 212.216.112.222
=================================================
This is a my trick (bogus.root.org is not an Internet official
root DNS) and howtos didn't helped me about.
212.216.112.222 is my official DNS, and the script replace it
with the user supplied NAMESERVER.
The trick should save diald, because it just listen for outgoing
connections to NAMESERVER.
If in the mailing-list there is a DNS guru, please help.
