Booting onto a memory file system
If I wanted to boot from a cdrom using a memory file system as my root device, what is the best way to do that? In FreeBSD 4.X I used: /boot/loader.conf: mfs_load=YES /boot/loader.rc: load -t mfs_root /mfsroot What would I do for DragonFly? Will this work? Thanks in advance. -- Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The opinions expressed above are entirely my own I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.
2 NICs and 1 network
Hi there, Im trying to run an authoritative dns server on 1 NIC and dns cache/recursive resolver on another NIC. Therefore 2 IPs on the same net and connected to the same switch. Therefore theres a problem. What options do i have in regards to resolving the issue without putting them on different networks? Will having the 2 IP's on the same NIC fix this problem or not? Thanks, Petr
RE: 2 NICs and 1 network
Why don't you just use 2 different views under bind this is trivial, and should do exactly what you want with one ip address. -- One world, one web, one program -- Microsoft promotional ad Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer -- Adolf Hitler John Mire: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administration 318-675-5434 LSU Health Sciences Center - Shreveport The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

Announcing the MetaBUG
We are officially announcing the MetaBUG, a global BSD users group dedicated to the advocacy of BSD. The goals of MetaBUG are: - Foster inter-BUG relations to increase unity in the BSD community - Increase awareness of user groups - Share resources, materials, and information to promote BSD - Distribute live feeds of speaker presentations - Assist in starting or growing local BUGs - Provide a BSD user group for users with no local BUG access One of the most interesting features will be video streams of member presentations. This allows us to offer audio/video streams of live presentations to users around the globe. If your BSD user group is interested in collaborating with other BUGs, or you're a user without access to your own local group, join the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. For more details, please visit http://metabug.org/ or send your questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, -- Jason Dixon DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net

They need to run sepately. Have you used the ldap module for bind? Besides last release being 2 years ago, i heard that its utterly useless too. (you gotta keep the zone files on disk too), and ldapdns was quite buggy last time i used it in production. Cheers, Petr

Well, I have to admit, after reviewing the products, I went with a custom solution where I built an application to track the records through a web interface and created ordinary plain text records for BIND from there. My primary worry was that these products constrain you to the maximum speed and reliability of your LDAP server - of course, that takes a lot, but there's something to be said for the appeal of simple text files that can be easily backed up or replaced.
