Getting DHCP to 'update' DNS records locally

2007-11-29 Thread Clint Olsen
Apologies if this isn't the correct forum. I'd like to configure DNS on my home network but make it work simultaneously with DHCP. So, when hosts are plugged into the network and issued an IP, DNS is updated to reflect the hostnames. That way I can refer to all my machines by name in all databas

Hopefully an easy header rewriting problem for Postfix

2007-12-07 Thread Clint Olsen
I essentially want to rewrite all envelope senders of the form: @host.my.domain to just @my.domain The examples in the Postfix docs seem to make it seem like the patterns only allow you to specify explicit recipients at the end of a rewriting rule, but that's not what I want. I know this was a

Using DHCP /and/ name recognition w/o running BIND

Hi: I am running a small network behind a D-Link firewall router, and I have a multitude of machines running on the NAT side. Generally, I use static IPs on the network for the FreeBSD machines (since they are often servers) and the Windows clients use DHCP. It would be nice if there was some wa

Traceroute supporting ICMP ECHO

Hi: I'm using 4.7p1 here, and I've had all sorts of fun on occasion with traceroute and my various firewall/routers. The default traceroute will not work since UDP traffic is apparently blocked on the return. Opening up port ranges on my router just doesn't seem right. However, Linux traceroute
