If it's wholly internal (i.e. any lookups are from machines within the network), you don't need an globally recognized name. You can use /etc/hosts or dnsmasq. > So, does one need an "actual" real name for an externally facing > server in order to process the DNS so one can do a "ssh t...@foo.com" > or can you use something like "ssh t...@foo.example.com" Even if your home network is hidden behind an ISP NAT router, getting your own domain is quite simple. Providers such as DynDNS (www.dyn.com) or NO-IP (www.noip.com) offer DNS registration (either paid or free with restrictions). You also need a dynamic DNS client to keep them up to date, but most modern routers can do that for you. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
