DNS Admin questions

2004-12-09 Thread Travis Roy
Hooray, my latest project is to cleanup our DNS servers. They do okay and are fairly easy to manage, provided you do everything manually. I'm not a big DNS guru by any means. I know a lot of people have script/programs they use to manage DNS. I have two questions. First, what is your favorite

All, I have several boxes kobbled together along with my web server living happily behind my firewall. In order to get windows (IE, NETSCAP et al) to see the sites served up on the web server I have to adjust the hosts file in /WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/ telling the specific local IP address

The naming scheme on NT based machines always amuses me: I'm pretty sure that /etc/ started out being a *nix thing, which MS then took up. Or they could have borrowed it from their own Unix project: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenix ___ gnhlug-discuss
