Re: FBSD router/firewall with dhclient dhcpd

My *potential* problem is that my ISP (Cablevision) re-addresses their DNS servers often. My question is: is there a way to dynamically update the option domain-name-servers values in dhcpd.conf from the nameserver values my ISP-facing, dhclient-using interface is writing into resolv.conf? Or, more simply, how can my DHCP server hand out *known-fresh-and-good* ISP dns server addresses gathered from the wan-facing dhcp client?? The linksys box I have now does this auto-magically... ;-) I don't know if this is a solution that you want but it works for me. Setup DNSMasq on your firewall machine. http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html or from the ports /usr/ports/dns/dnsmasq. Then just point to your internal IP on your firewall as your nameserver. It's quick and painless to setup and get running and seems to work well for small networks. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It will automatically reload this information if it changes. This facility will be of particular interest to maintainers of Linux firewall distributions since it allows dns configuration to be made automatic. Bingo, 100%. Thanks, Luke. I owe you a beer... Glad to help and hope it works for your needs.

Re: VIA OnBoard NIC problems
I'm running 5.2 right now with a VIA EPIA 800 setup. It uses that same card, vr0, and it seems to work so far, then again I don't have anything that's much of load for it. Luke On Feb 1, 2004, at 3:17 PM, Jorn Argelo wrote: Your onboard card isn't in the supported hardware list (from 5.2 that is) and your Intel one is, so I guess that explains your problem. I know you don't want to hear it, but you got no other choice then putting an new network card in it if you want your network to be stable.

Re: Building a custom release, not working

Thank you, Chad I've never tried what you're doing though I've thought about it many times so I don't think I'll be much help on the specifics. But during one of my many times of searching the web for just such a thing I came across this fellows website and seems to be very well documented and up to date. http://neon1.net/misc/minibsd.html Also this project may be of some interest to you too. http://m0n0.ch/wall/ Both are intended to be used with this hardware but also can be customized with any regular computer too. http://www.soekris.com/ Hope this helps.

Mail will not deliver after configuration of NIC
Caveat, I am new to Unix and FreeBSD but have been finding my way around fairly well. My problem: It appears that once I configure my network device mail won't deliver. I've been playing with FreeBSD at home and work trying to learn Unix. I've never really cared much about the mail system. Until recently I've just been finding my way around, learning commands and how to configure and install programs. Anyhow my play machine at work won't deliver mail yet both of my home machines, configured similarly to work, deliver just fine. I can run the following: # mail root and my home machines root accounts get mail yet work says :no such file /var/mail/root when I type # mail I figured I had just jacked something with my work machine and not caring too much decided reinstall from scratch. To my dismay after setting everything up mail would still not work. I started over again yet this time when it asked to configure a Network interface device I didn't. As luck would have it mail worked. I rebooted and still worked. Yet after I ran /stand/sysinstall and configured network interfaces mail would not work. All I want is to have local users be able to send mail to each other locally on this machine. What am I doing wrong?
