Hi, This may not be something that can be solved with a bacula setting, but may just be a general architecture issue that someone can help me with.
I am trying to backup my mobile clients that get addresses via dhcp. I use dnsmasq, so I thought it would be simple. The client gets an ip from the dnsmasq dhcp server, and a dns entry is created, but, my bacula dir is also my dnsmasq server. That box is connected via a firewall to the internet, so it's resolv.conf points to the outside dns server. So locally on my network, all clients ask dnsmasq for IP's, and my dnsmasq server asks an outside server if necessary. On my internal network, I can do 'nslookup vaio' and get 192.168.1.74. When I am on my bacula/dnsmasq/webserver, nslookup vaio yields nothing, as you would expect as 'vaio' is not in the ISP's DNS server. How to best solve this problem, without making a new server to host bacula? Is there a way to tell bacula to use a specific dns server? Then maybe I can point it to the dnsmasq ports or something to get the correct IP address of my internal clients. Anything else I should be looking at? From the server I can do this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# nslookup vaio Server: 64.81.159.2 Address: 64.81.159.2#53 ** server can't find vaio: NXDOMAIN [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# nslookup vaio - localhost Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Name: vaio Address: 192.168.1.74 thanks, Cliff ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
