- Hi there!
-
- Well, it is time for our network to migrate to Domain Name services.
- Here is a summary of my situation:
-
- We were using our standard Internet Address for our token-ring lan and
- the default 192.9.200 for our ethernet lan.
-
- So far no problem but.... because we are incorporating to the INTERNET
- we will be making changes to our addresses.
- What i have done so far is test the subnet issue.
- We have defined our choices there: we will be using the 3 highest bits
- (netmask 224) and do with 6 subnets.
-
- Here comes the question>
-
- Has anyone implemented this setup with NIS with DNS (named).
- The docs say that NIS can run with domain name services on top of it
- I am reading chapter 17 of the SUN : System & Network Administration in
- order to understand what is going on but I must confess that I am still
- not sure how to go about it.
- Based on the samples I have created the boot files for my 3 servers
- but like i said, is not complete.
-
- Can any one share some hints,
- I have a combination of token-ring and ethernet unix hosts and PC's.
- I want to use subnets for security reasons (the machine that will connect
- us to the internet via a router will be in one subnet along with the
- router).
-
- Ideally, I would like to use NIS to handle local addresses and DNS when
- needing info about INTERNET addresses.
- My HUB supplier (Cerfnet) has already given me the name of the domain name
- server that I should use to link to the INTERNET.
-
- Thanks in advance, in the menatime I will keep on reading.
