Hello,
I have just setup DJDNS on my linux box for DNS caching. All is working well but I wanted to set it up so it resolves the linux boxes name to its IP address.
So my linux box's name is slacker.net however when I do a dig on slacker.net I am getting someone elses IP address (The real slacker.net on the internet) I would like it to resolve to my box 192.168.1.100.
I hope the goal of this makes sense please let me know if I can provide any other information..
Thanks! |

but /etc/hosts doesn't get used right?
resolv.conf is
| Code: |
search houston.rr.com
domain net
nameserver 192.168.1.100

OK I appreciate you time.
So this is my /etc/hosts file
| Code: |
# /etc/hosts: This file describes a number of hostname-to-address
# mappings for the TCP/IP subsystem. It is mostly
# used at boot time, when no name servers are running.
# On small systems, this file can be used instead of a
# "named" name server. Just add the names, addresses
# and any aliases to this file...
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/hosts,v 1.8 2003/08/04 20:12:25 azarah Exp $
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.100 slacker.net slacker
# IPV6 versions of localhost and co
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
|
So when I do a dig I would expect it to resolve to 192.168.1.100. However as the results below show it is getting the real slacker.net
| Code: |
jim@slacker ~ $ dig slacker.net
; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> slacker.net
;; global options: printcmd

| Because dig is querying a DNS server directly. If you put that into the /etc/hosts of the machine you're using and try to go there in your browser, it should go to 192.168.1.100. |
