What does not work with a simple caching name server? DNS provides lots of record types. Which matter? Are you playing with IPV6? Does you connection to the internet have a fixed or a dynamic IP address? Are the boxes inside using DHCP or fixed host names and IP addresses? For now just decide where you keep your master /etc/host file and copy that to all the hosts after it is updated. -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch48-at-sbcglobal-dot-net
