- I've run into a snag with getting applications such as ftp, telnet,
- et al to recongnize anything that is outside of my local ethernet.
-
- The odd thing is that nslookup can resolve the addresses. Here is
- a quick synopsis of what I've done:
-
- 1. Put important local hosts in /etc/hosts
-
- 2. Record my domain, neoucom.edu in /etdc/defaultdomain
-
- 3. Set up a named.boot with pointers to root nameservers and our
- secondary name server.
-
- 4. Edited the lovely configuration files per RFC 1034 and 1035.
- Such wonderful syntax!
-
- 5. Edited /etc/netwoks so that a dummy 0.0 route is called,
- "default." default 0.0 default
-
- 6. Set up a gateway entry:
- net default gateawy 140.220.1.4 metric 1 passive
-
- 7. set up an /etc/resolv.conf file:
- domain neoucom.edu
- nameserver 140.220.3.13
- nameserver 140.220.1.1
- nameserver 128.146.1.4
-
- 8. test the mess out:
-
- # nslookup aux.support.com
-
- Server: troi.neoucom.edu
- Address: 140.220.3.13
-
- Non-authoritative answer:
- Name: aux.support.apple.com
- Address 130.43.6.2
-
-
- Now for the bad part:
-
- # ftp aux.support.com
- aux.support.com: unknown host
- ftp>
-
-
- It is driving me crazy that nslookup automagically get the
- addresses, but for some reason, the other programs don't see it.
- Is there a configuration file that tells the apps to get the
- address from NIS, /etc/hosts, in.named?....
-
-
- Thanks for any help,
- Bill
