First why use open dns servers. the dns servers of your provider is much less hops away.
if you run you own dns server with caching modus on you have a very fast dns response and less traffic. in this example i first point to you own dns server. ( i also have forwarding dns servers in my bind9 config ) and i added 3 dns server of my provider in my resolve.conf show what i now get is. 1 search order makes sure my own dns is search first. 2 my own dns server responds, if not its forwarded to my providers dns with caching modes active. 3 every old request is very very fast because of the caching. 4 if my dns server fails, the linux server still has dns resolving provided by resolve.conf 's dns server. and, my local hosts in my lan are always correct even PTR records. i use this setup in my company. and it goes further. here i have 1 master dns + dhcp3 ( dynamic dns server + dhcp server ) every other server is dns slave. ( i have about 8 servers here ) and also across a wan. ( over vpn ) what i acomplised is a very stable and very fast, low cpu consuming dns setup. every server is capable of resolving any host/object in my lan/wan. so yes sure opendns is useable but if you really want it ... ow and i didnt say any randon ISP DNS. use your own IPS dns server ;-) Louis >-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- >Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens >Charles Marcus >Verzonden: vrijdag 16 mei 2008 15:30 >Aan: [email protected] >Onderwerp: Re: [Samba] NetBIOS name resolution from Linux > >On 5/16/2008, L.P.H. van Belle ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: >> set your resolve.conf to resolve on localhost first and set the >> search order. >> >> example of the resolve.conf >> search yourlocaldomain.internal.local otherdomain.com >> nameserver 127.0.0.1 >> nameserver ipofprovider > >Much better to use the opendns servers than any randon ISP DNS... > >-- > >Best regards, > >Charles >-- >To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the >instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
