Installing
==========
You need to merge the supplied !System with your own version in order
to drop the Toolbox modules into your !System. Either use !SysMerge
or for Risc PCs, use the !Boot application on your main hard disc.
Run the !Installer program and follow the instructions. The configuration
file (resconf) will be automatically generated and placed in the Internet
configuration file directory, provided it can be found. (You need to
have let the Filer `see' your Internet software). If using the built-in
Acorn TCP/IP stack, then you need to run InetSetup after installing
DNSResolver in order to get your configuration files updated so that
the module starts automatically on boot up.
Running DNSResolver
===================
Load DNSResolver as soon as your have loaded your TCP/IP stack module
from System:Modules.Network.DNSResolve. If you have used !InetSetup
(the configuration program in RISC OS 3.7 also available from the Network
option on the !Boot program), then you need do nothing, since that will
do it for you.
That's it. If you have software which is testing for the presence of
the InetDB module, then copy the InetDB module supplied to your
system directory. THIS IS A DUMMY MODULE AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING.
You may want to keep the original InetDB safe somewhere first.
ChangeLog
=========
Changes since 1.04:
Dangling CNAME problem fixed.
Resolver now based on BIND-4.9.5 (was 4.9.3BETA24)
Reverse lookups on IP addresses in the Hosts file now work.
