Hi, A couple of questions, subsequently ...
> your /etc/resolv.conf file would be > > cat << EOF > /etc/resolv.conf > domain mydomain.com > search mydomain.com > nameserver 1.2.3.4 # replace with nameserver address 1 > nameserver 5.6.7.8 # replace with nameserver address 2 > nameserver 3.5.7.9 # replace with nameserver address 3 > nameserver 2.4.6.8 # replace with nameserver address 4 > EOF This is my current /etc/resolv.conf: search speakeasy.net nameserver 216.231.41.22 nameserver 216.231.41.2 ... speakeasy is my DSL provider. So I would add the line domain burningclown.com ... and the line beginning 'search' should change, too? The DNS servers are speakeasy's, of course. > and you'd configure your DNS zone to have your static IP (say > 111.222.111.222) to point to pear.mydomain.com: > > pear.mydomain.com. IN A 111.222.111.222 So I can do this? Or would someone at speakeasy need to do this? or someone at the ISP that hosts burningclown.com (not speakeasy). Whew!
