Hello Peter, My answer is simple: just for fun :) I would like to do something with the DNS which is similar to the Star Wars easter-egg traceroute story:
http://boingboing.net/2013/02/09/star-wars-easter-egg-hidden-in.html So I need a DNS server which is able to resolve long CNAME chains as well. Can you show me the constant/#define/etc. in the source code with which I can control this parameter of the software? Yours sincerely, Tibor 2013/3/12 Peter van Dijk <[email protected]> > Hello Tibor, > > On Mar 12, 2013, at 14:01 , Tibor Benke wrote: > > > Hi! > > > > I want to make a CNAME chain with ~160 elements.
