Hello,

We seem to be stuck. We have a lan running a FreeBSD server (2.0.5). It was 
set up so that we could carryout our HTML authoring off line.

The problem is that we can't seem to get the DNS working.....or at least we 
think thats the problem. We want to be able to run a httpd daemon (cern) that 
allows us to allocate domain names for our clients that are the same as they 
will use when the pages actually go live.

SO we have our own site set up on the machine as:
	http://our.site.com/

And we want our clients to be set up so that the URL is:
	http://our.clientsite.com/

We have assumed that it is the Domain name server that handles this and have 
been unable to get it sorted as yet.

Any help, hints etc that anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
If you could mail you replies directly to us as we dont have the time to 
follow this news group on a regular basis.


Thanks

Gavin
