Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP acces with external tool

[Patrick Ouellet]

I really intend tho to run it on Linux
Since our Linux DNS works like a charm
and our internal W2K DNS are always in
trouble...
Doug Anderson a �crit :

we use BIND 9.2.3rc1 for Window NT/2000
I was a unix guy once-upon-atime also
no graphical interface, txt files.....can be run on a workstation class pc.
If you understand bind under linux/free bsd it's simple to use

If you're a unix guy, check out bind version 9.2.2 or above. it allows you
to setup internal and external views of your dns. that way you can specify
your internal ip's to use your 10. address and all other ip's to use your
publick address for resolve... works great!

Where and how is called that host file in windows 2000
( aka /etc/hosts )
Thanx Brad, I'll check on that solution.. is not quite ellegant but
until our
DNS problem is solved, this could to the trick.

My question is why IMail don't use 127.0.0.1 for self service querying?

Is there a reason for that.



       

I can't answer this question but my guess is that since under normal
circumstances, the name resolves to the local IP address, this
     

optimization
 

isn't necessary.

Have you tried adding an entry to the server's hosts file so that when it
queries DNS for its own IP address, it gets the local address?  You could
even resolve the name to 127.0.0.1 if you'd prefer.
Regards,

Brad
