Is there a tinydns or dns wizard that could give me some hints, please? I am setting up and testing tinydns, but have some problems figuring out how to route. I do get dnscache to listen on tinydns. Also I do not understand why it will not answer the given ip (127.0.0.1) to the name server. 1. Both services are up running and seems to be working fine, so why no reply, (on the first query/reply below)? 2. I am behind a firewall/router and have dynamic ip address from my isp. Can I set up the name server to be dynamic or how can I solve this by routing? --config info Dnscache is listening to the local nic 192.168.1.102 tinydns is listening to the local nic 192.168.1.100 Here's the query to dnscache where no ip given back: # dnsqr a test.example.net 1 test.example.net: 34 bytes, 1+0+0+0 records, response, noerror query: 1 test.example.net # dnsqr a server1.test.example.net 1 server1.test.example.net: 58 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror query: 1 server1.test.example.net answer: server1.test.example.net 86400 A 192.168.1.102 # cat /etc/dnscache/log/main/current | grep tx @4000000043d9f8b118a12724 tx 0 1 test.example.net. test.example.net. 7f000001 c0a80164 @4000000043d9f8b5212dcc1c tx 0 1 server1.test.example.net. test.example.net. c0a80164 7f000001 # cat /etc/tinydns/root/data .test.example.net:127.0.0.1:a:259200 .1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:127.0.0.1:a:259200 =server1.test.example.net:192.168.1.102:86400
