Re: IP Change
For the gateway, from the command line as root: # route add default (ip address of gateway) you can also configure the networking (as root)from /stand/sysinstall #/stand/sysinstall select Configure select Networking Follow the prompts from there.

Re: IP-change
Most of the times, when you make a DNS change, it may take up 24 hours to replicate to all other servers. And during that time is when, you wonder if it's gonna work or not. On top of that your carrier may not refresh it's list every 6 to 12 hours. I had to talk to a supervisor to have ATT do the refresh it right away. - Original Message - From: Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 7:48 AM Subject: Re: IP-change - Original Message - From: Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2003 2:12 PM Subject: Re: IP-change On 2003-02-20 04:30, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Giorgos Keramidas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is more likely to be a setup problem on your end, Well, the rest of the world has no problem with it. :) All mail servers around the globe I receive mail from, picked up on the DNS change within several days; '/var/log/maillog' on the old server is now only filled with mail from the FreeBSD list.

If you know in advance that you'll be changing, you can adjust the expiration times in the zone so that servers around the net won't cache the old IP for very long. This greatly facilitates convergence on the new IP. Don't forget to change it back to avoid unnecessary traffic.

Also, don't forget to tell your nameserver (bind?) to reread the zonefile. For bind, that would be ndc reload your zone.your tld Grtz, Nils.

Without its name, we can't check to see why you are getting mail for it delivered to a particular IP address. The domain is asarian-host.net, now on 194.109.160.70.
