- I am setting up /etc/named on our Apollo ring with partial success:
-
- Configuring one machine as the primary nameserver for the ring and as
- secondary nameserver for another subnet worked at least on that machine.
- Other machines on the ring which don't run named are expected to
- look on the file /etc/resolv.conf for the nameserver machine and ask that
- for resolving names (I believe).
- But this doesn't work for me. I think that e.g. ftp should look in
- resolv.conf for the nameserver but it always falls back to
- /etc/hosts. Is ftp and friends broken ?
-
- Another phenomenon:
- I set up a second Apollo as the secondary nameserver for the ring.
- It works so long as I am logged in to the Apollo with dm or with crp.
- If I am logged in via telnet the nameserver is ignored.
- What is going on here ?
-
-
- Any hints appreciated
