actually i didnt understand your query.I hope your question was "how you can use internet without `named` and `bind` ".
When you are using intenet you dont need a DNS server in your local system.its managed by your ISP. When resolving urls first our request is recieved by DNS servers with ISP which is actually a caching server .it keep previously resolved DNS queries from clients thus saving network load and time .If no entries are found thier the request propogates to next neigbouring servers as mentioned in the entry of ISPs DNS server.If our machine has not recieved the result within timeout value specified it searches next DNS server mention in the resolv.conf. please visit this link http://www.internic.net/faqs/authoritative-dns.html http://www.cs.wcu.edu/~holliday/cware/NameRes/NameRes.html On Sat, 19 Mar 2005 02:15:31 +0000 (GMT), anoop alias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I recently installed the PCQLinux2005,which boasts of > a great array of programmes,but bad tamper with > Anaconda! > > anyway the problem is connecting to internet,I hav > previously discussed the resolv.conf file > > I hav believed that DNS request were furnished by a > programm(NAMED).........but what cause me to leave my > faith is that this Linux has NO service called Named > and yet i connect to the internet! > Could anyone plz tell me how a program resolves a name > to its IP........... > when i connect from wvdial.conf it is printing the DNS > server address and connecting...but from the browser > it is saying no host(it is not doin name resolution!) > but from the n/w config program if i activate ppp0 > interface everything is working properly,& no service > named NAMED and BIND are running!!? > > ________________________________________________________________________ > Yahoo!
