You can > reach it from: > http://www.simpaticus.com/linux Please keep in mind that this doc is pretty much a first draft, and needs improvement. Still, it should get you to understanding the concepts and the terminology. From there, I suggest you go to the Linux Documentation Project: http://www.tldp.org and read the DNS-HOWTO located there. That should get you up and running. Feel free to post additional questions to the list as well. -- Rodolfo J. Paiz rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.simpaticus.com Thanks so much, Rodolfo. I had kept the reference to your excellent site http://www.simpaticus.com/linux, of course, and I had planned to go back to it if I couldn't get everything working first by doing what Ben had suggested. I guess I'll just have to go back and read everything carefully and learn by trial and error--it won't be the first time. Thanks again.
