Nick, Not sure how Redhat's set up, but in Slackware there's a file called /etc/hosts which allows you to assign aliases to various IP addresses. On Sunday, February 13, 2005, 6:55:23 PM, you stood on a roof and loudly proclaimed: > Hello all. > Recently, a friend of mine who is starting up a hosting > company set hostnames on his boxes that are sitting on the planet. > As an example, he wants 246.70-85-55.reverse.theplanet.com to show > up as raynbobox.fmservers.co.uk when one traces to this server, a > lot like how rednote shows up. Any ideas on how this is done? > Thanks, > Nick > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup ---------- Stephen Clower Email/.Net Messenger: steve at steve-audio.net AIM: AudioRabbit03 Skype: sclower Check out my little home on the web at http://www.steve-audio.net
