Hello!

Could someone please give me an answer to the following problem, which - I
think - it's almost a FAQ ? Or, at least, to point to the appropriate Web
page ?


I have a simple LAN (the simplest: one Ethernet segment). Workstations are
Win95. One machine can dual boot also Linux and, when in Linux, acts as a
gateway (it has a modem and it connects to the ISP through dial-up on a
normal, switched line). It provides WWW browsing and e-mail to all Win95
clients.

For various reasons, I want to set up a small DNS for INTERNAL use. Since I
DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL DOMAIN, I  use 192.168.1.0 addreses and all my
machines are in the "fakedomain.lan" domain.

Reading Nicolai Langfeldt's  DNS-HOWTO, I didn't understand how should I set
up my DNS for this type of configuration, in order not to disturbe anyone.
Cause my LAN is neither completely isolated, nor a part of my official ISP
domain.

As usual, my ISP allocates a dynamic, non-fixed IP address to the gateway,
every time when it connects through dial-up.

As a note, I HAVE to use the "notify yes" clause, since I also plan to have
a secondary nameserver on my LAN.


A Cc: to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in your response will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Razvan
