Hi Team
Hi Mikkel
Im new to Linux and Mandrake and was wondering what you would reccomend for a DNS service (BIND for example), just to host 3 domains we have (and just the main internet accessable systems -
i.e. 3 IPs/Names). Prefer to have a GUI if possible, if not a url
to a good reference point
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Mark, Are you looking for a name server to provide domain name service for your local network, or one that will provide name service for your domain on the Internet? From the way your question is worded, I want to be sure we are talking about the same thing. What you need for a home network with 3 hosts is vastly different then what you need if you are running a hosting service and have 3 different domains to worry about.
I should have been clearer, a DNS to provide naming services for internet based computers looking up our domain names, not for internal network.
You say you are new to Linux. Are you new to networking as well, or just to networking on Linux? I want to be sure we are we mean the same thing when we talk about domains, and host names.
Not new to networking, just networking on linux. At the moment Im looking for something to get me up and running quickly, so I can later study what script/conf files where altered and where. (Im sully aware that any front end GUI's change up to several configuration/text files to allow linux to do its stuff :-) Just looking for pointers so Im not wasting time simply looking ;-)
nice modules for configuring just about anything using a web interface. I am a b it old fashioned, so I tent to edit config files, but I have set it up for others to use...
