Date: 31 Dec 1995 05:36:38 GMT Organization: Global OnLine Japan (+81-3-5330-9385) Lines: 46 Message-ID: <4c57h6$c34@gol2.gol.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: 202.243.53.5 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Macintosh; I; 68K) X-URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc I am reading "DNS & BIND" as quickly as I can right now. Unlike a mystery novel, I wouldn't mind at all if somebody ruined the ending for me and told me whether what I want to do is easily configurable or not! I have: o one Class C network o a leased line to an Internet provider via a gateway router o a handful of machines (mostly Macs, one Windows 95 and one FreeBSD) o TWO domain names (one I've been using for a BBS and a new one I want to use for a completely different BBS) My FreeBSD machine is currently doing primary name serving for my network and my provider is doing secondary. I am adding a Livingston Portmaster to the LAN to give BBS members access to dialup PPP. My question, simply put, is can I handle both domain names easily out of the one FreeBSD box? I know I can easily receive e-mail for either BBS with the one, but I also want outgoing mail to show the correct "from" domain name depending on which BBS mail comes from. Would it make life simpler if I just got another FreeBSD box and duplicated everything, just changing domain names and running each system side-by-side? Do I need to split my Class C in two parts? Is there any reason why one network can't have two domain names with different IP addresses belonging to different domain names arbitrarily? Is there any problem with both domain names using the same gateway router? Any hints to appropriate passages in "DNS & BIND" and general comments would be appreciated. Maybe I can turn this into a good Q&A document for everybody when I am done! Thanks! Doug Lerner, Tokyo
