Jails and IPv6

2008-06-05 Thread Steve Bertrand
Hi everyone, Through all the information I've read (and after testing for myself), it appears as though IPv6 is still not possible inside of a jail. Is this correct? Is there any way that this can be accomplished? Regards, Steve ___

Re: Upgrading Kernel on a Remote Server

A nice trick for easily recovering from unbootable kernels is nextboot(8). Try man nextboot I certainly concur with Sean on the co-ordinate a time theory, especially if it includes them being on standby for a clean recovery, but this nextboot(8) tactic that I never knew about before seems

Well, BIND is up to 28 published security advisories: http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/bind-security.php#matrix ...which not only have included cache poisoning (2003-0914), but many of them allowed for arbitrary code execution, often as root. Ok, then I'll ask the obvious... For those who are,

The match-destination inspects the DNS address used by the client to query to determine which view to use. Would this suit your purpose? Well, yes, it would suit the purpose, but my fear was exactly that of what Matthew states below about 'leaking'. I believe that the problem is this:

Hi everybody, I am attempting to configure a BIND 9 name server that will be authoritative for certain domains which will listen exclusively on IPv6. This same box will also be a caching server for a handful of networks (IPv6 and IPv4). The way I have it set up is that the authoritative

However, how can I make the FreeBSD (7.0) startup scripts load both instances of BIND, each with it's own configuration? I did something very similar. Run one of the bind instances in a jail -- especially with a little firewall rdr rules and similar trickery to redirect traffic into the

Re: Unusual use of ssh

2008-05-21 Thread Steve Bertrand
Sure enough, ssh packets are received by the host. The problem is that it does not respond on the right interface. The routing table uses a default route through the T1. Thats where the sshd responses are being sent. If I understand correctly, this is only one box you need a correction

Well, from what I read (I can't remember where), if I use views to do this with only a single instance running, the problem arises that even though the 'external' (requests for authoritative answers) clients can and will get responses from the caching side of the server if the result they are
