You can just point /etc/resolv.conf to your local DNS server. Also modify DHCP daemon to supply your internal DNS server. You may also want to setup DNS forwarders in BIND. > the zone file has a dynamic IP (not likely, just > curious how this works out...)? You will need to specify a hostname for each dynamic IP. For example, if your DHCP daemon is supplying IP addresses in 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150 range, open up your private LAN zone and assign a hostname for each of the IP address. > Some security questions immediately come to mind as I > type :) I am wondering how I can block external traffic If you are already running a NAT, just bind BIND to your private IP address. NAT is already kind of a firewall. Alex -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
