I purchased a domain and setup a roundrobin service to host my DSN. Since X would not start because the dns has not propagated yet, I put my FQDN in /etc/hosts # cat /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.2.1 darkforce.darkforceteam.net darkforce 192.168.2.12 darkstar.darkforceteam.net darkstar Something tells me that perhaps I have something incorrect? I have two interface and am masquerading as darkforce.darkforceteam.net with a static ip on eth0. The eth1 is my localnet. Should I have pointed my FQDN to my static ip or the 192.168...? As it is, everything works even though my ip doesn't resolve yet. But is this correct? There was a tool in RH 9 to set the hostname, I cannot find this tool in Fedora??? so I edited /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/hosts by hand. I want to be able to access this host by name http://darkforce/ from the localnet even if the network is down. I am also clueless as to what to put in redhat-config-httpd? I want the default to be www. but my machine is named darkforce.domain... How do I add ssh.domain.net ftp.domain.net etc to my hosts file? Searched google but everybodies hosts file seems to be setup differently. What else do I need to do to get apache working and add virtual host like testsite.mydomain.net? jay
