Acronym for [DomainNameSystem Domain Name System]. Contents: ### Index ### ! New DNS System (/users/?mr-russ mr-russ) and (/users/?dcoles dcoles) have been setting a new DNS system that automatically extracts DNS entries from the Melbourne Wireless database. To add an entry, simply edit (/my your node details) and select the entry typee and enter the IP address under Services. Queries can take the form ''SERVICE''.''NODE''.node.melbournewireless.org.au or ''IP''.''NODE''.node.melbournewireless.org.au (used for reverse DNS). For example, 'www.jqy.node.melbournewireless.org.au' will resolve to 10.10.133.83. At present this is running on node (/nodes/view?JQY JQY) and is accessible through '''203.29.53.3''' (or '''10.10.133.83''' on network). !! Local configuration Forward DNS should be handled automatically by the public DNS system (node.melbournewireless.org.au should be delegated to this server). If you would like to use the reverse DNS features you will have to set up your system to directly query the server. This can be done by editing '/etc/resolv.conf': ++++ # Search path (optional) # Allows you to specify names like 'www.dcoles.node' rather than requiring the the full entry search melbournewireless.org.au # Query the Melbourne Wireless nameserver first nameserver 10.10.133.83 #nameserver 203.29.53.1 # Alternative, public address # Default nameserver - server to handle all other requests nameserver 8.8.8.8 # Insert your DNS server here! ++++ !! Future enhancements * Using hostnames for forward/reverse entries * DNS-SD * Handle multiple service entries ! Old DNS System Here is what i have setup at node fut. now i dont have to guess which node has which ip. DOMAIN NAME SERVER. here is a list of domain names to ip address only available if you set your computer or bind server to have 10.10.129.150 in its dns list. If you want me to add your node or any other dns you want to an ip send me an email in this format: dns.name (main ip) (other ip address if you have more than 1 network card this will be used for reverse lookups) to: ivile(at)but.st or ivile01(at)yahoo.com.au Start of Authority (SOA) [30], chain.ivile.net., hostmaster.
