I have just installed Woody on a new box (named galadriel). My old box (Potato, named gandalf) acts as DNS server and internet gateway (ISDN dial out).
When I booted Woody, I noticed a dial out to my ISP on my old box. This dial out seems to be caused by DSN requests from Woody near the end of the boot sequence. Here is an extract from a bind logfile: ***start*** debug 1: datagram from [10.19.66.21].1024, fd 22, len 38 info:XX+/10.19.66.21/galadriel.fjphome.nl/AAAA/IN debug 1: req: nlookup(galadriel.fjphome.nl) id 55581 type=28 class=1 debug 1: req: found 'galadriel.fjphome.nl' as 'galadriel.fjphome.nl'(cname=0) debug 1: ns_req: answer ->[10.19.66.21].1024 fd=22 id=55581 size=93rc=0 debug 1: datagram from [10.19.66.21].1024, fd 22, len 27 info: XX+/10.19.66.21/galadriel/AAAA/IN debug 1: req: nlookup(galadriel) id 55582 type=28 class=1 debug 1: req: missed 'galadriel' as '' (cname=0) forw: forw -> [195.241.49.33].53 ds=4 nsid=60793 id=55582 22ms retry 4sec debug 1: datagram from [195.241.49.33].53, fd 24, len 102 debug 1: ncache: dname galadriel, type 28, class 1 debug 1: send_msg -> [10.19.66.21].1024 (UDP 22) id=55582 ***end*** So it seems that the Woody box sends two requests. For galadriel.fjphome.nl (fully qualified name) which gets resolved by my nameserver. For galadriel. which my nameserver can't resolve and forwards to the nameserver of my ISP (which of course also can't resolve it). Questions - Why does Woody request the unqualified name after the fully qualified name has been resolved? - Can I stop Woody from making the unqualified request? - Can I make my nameserver resolve the unqualified request? TIA, Frans Pop P.S. I am very happy with Woody so far!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
