Hi again,
i think i solved the issue. I'll post the things that i think are relevant here so other people who might encounter problems with this kind of setup can find some info here: HOST ==== # cat /etc/resolv.conf search mydomain.be nameserver 192.168.1.20 # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:B5:40:DE:14 inet addr:192.168.0.2 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:B5:40:DD:EE inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 eth1:thor Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:B5:40:DD:EE inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 # ls -la /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-04-14 13:45 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2006-04-14 13:57 1 interface 0 # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/0/dev eth1 # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/0/ip 192.168.1.20 # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/0/name thor # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/0/prefix 24 interface 1 # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/1/dev lo # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/1/ip 127.0.0.2 # cat /etc/vservers/thor/interfaces/1/prefix 24 VSERVER GUEST ============= # cat /etc/resolv.conf domain mydomain.be nameserver 192.168.1.20 # ifconfig eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:B5:40:DD:EE UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 eth1:thor Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:B5:40:DD:EE inet addr:192.168.1.20 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 lo Link encap:Local Loopback UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 dnscache and tinydns related info in vserver ============================================ Previously pinging the localhost inside the vserver didn't work so i changed the 127.0.0.1 to 127.0.0.2: # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.2 localhost I then removed the tinydns info because it was refering to 127.0.0.1: # rm -rf /var/tinydns Next i remade it for 127.0.0.2 # tinydns-conf tinydns dnslog /var/tinydns 127.0.0.2 I then copied the data file over and did a make # ls -la /var/dnscache/root/ip/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2005-10-06 00:48 127.0.0.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-04-14 12:58 127.0.0.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2005-10-06 00:49 192.168 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2006-04-14 09:21 192.168.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2005-10-06 00:49 192.168.1.20 # ls -la /var/dnscache/root/servers -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 166 2005-10-06 00:48 @ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 2006-04-14 12:55 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 2006-04-14 12:55 mydomain.be # cat /var/dnscache/root/servers/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa 127.0.0.2 # cat /var/dnscache/root/servers/mydomain.be 127.0.0.2 # cat /var/tinydns/root/data .mydomain.be:192.168.1.20:a:259200 .1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:192.168.1.20:a:259200 @mydomain.be:192.168.1.1:a::86400 =bifrost.mydomain.be:192.168.1.1:86400 +smtp.mydomain.be:192.168.1.1:86400 +mail.mydomain.be:192.168.1.1:86400 =odin.mydomain.be:192.168.1.10:86400 ... That's it. Now i can ping (by name) without problems from both the host and the guest system. Tonight i'll test if from my machine in the lan but i don't expect problems. If you don't hear back from me in the thread, that test must have succeeded too :) Thanks to all who answered in the thread, it helped me a lot.
