Hey, sorry I didn't notice this earlier...I have this working on my home network with Bering 1.2. (I assume it works other versions of Bering as well): My firewall is running DHCPD, tinydns, and dnscache. DHCP is set up so a few machines get static addresses, the rest get dynamic. dnscache

Hey folks, the recent thread on machine access by hostname reminded me that I'd been intending to setup some form of DNS so that I could access my server in the DMZ by hostname. I've searched around and done a pretty good of confusing myself since this is all pretty new to me, so I'm
