First, it may or may not be a subdomain.... But it would be a unique FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Second, there is no need to alter any resolv.conf since the hostname is held in the standard DNS. Just do some common name lookups.... host roger.dnsdynamic.com host maria.dnsdynamic.com host sam.dnsdynamic.com You'll find the IP addresses associated with the hosts are not within the range owned by dnsdynamic.com. Typically, this method is used for allowing for name resolution to route-able IP addresses so folks on the internet can assess you systems. But, there is nothing wrong with sending internal non-route-able addresses so you could access internal systems by name without too much hassle. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige. -- 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?
