DNS setup question

2000-01-29 Thread Alec Smith
Right now I've got my Debian-based server acting as a DNS cache. I'm in the process of moving a domain from one hosting company to another, and I'd like to be able to test things as if this domain was pointed at the new server instead of the old. I'm not quite ready to update the domain records

Hello All, I cannot get ntp to work on my computer. In the past, with previous versions, there have been no problems - it just works! I think there is a bug in ntp somewhere (it has 0.0.0.0 on the brain), but the maintainer seems to disagree. I submitted bug 56551 which has now been closed
