| Message-ID | <pj26q9$jkm$1@news.albasani.net> |
Greetings! How can I provide the IP addresses of servers inside a network? I have several Win workstaions which must access linux servers using their names rather than IP addresses. I do not want to edit windows hosts file. A server acts as internet gateway/firewall. Do I have to setup a liocal DNS (named)? Any advise would be very much appreciated. Wolf

It is by far easier to configure than other DNS servers. In addition, dnsmasq can work as the BOOTP/DHCP server for the local network. -- -TV

Getting dnsmasq going is a breeze, and it does its job very well.

Sometimes, Linux machines can broadcast their names using Samba. No, I do not know how, only that I have seen it happen sometimes, and not others. The easiest solution is a DNS server (yes, dnsmasq is very easy). Or edit the hosts files on all affected machines... -- Cheers, Carlos.

But dnsmasq is even easier :-) Just add entries to the standard hosts file. -- Cheers, Carlos.

dnsmasq does what I want, thanks for your comments. Wolf
