Wow, thanks alot! Thats pretty darn cool.

I have a few questions, though.

I'm at a university, behind a firewall, and the dns server they defaultly assign me is behind it as well, its a 10.x.x.x host.

That internal dns server provides dns information about other subnetted hosts. Infact, if your computer's name is BigMac, your ip might resolve to BigMac.danh.uc.edu or something.

Anyway, I don't get this information anymore (Well, I added the internal dns server after 127.0.0.1 in the network control panel). Before I did that, ping BigMac.card.uc.edu would really ping it, but with just 127.0.0.1 in there it does not.

Is there anything I can do to make my personal dns server contain the information within the sub net's dns server?

Also, in the /var/named/pz/127.0.0 file, I see stuff like ns.mynameserver.com and hostmaster.mynameserver.com. Should I leave them like that, or change them (it just doesn't feel right...)

Thanks for the instructions, it was very helpful!
