I have spent the better part of the last three days reading and trying to understand how BIND works. What I have figured out this far, is how to configure and run my LAN machines to resolve names between each other; by setting their IP's statically. What I have not been able to find is how do you make them automatically resolve using DHCP? I don't want to use /etc/hosts I'm not using a FQDN. Can someone point me to a clear explanation?. (please not the BIND manuals, been over those three times) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
