[DNS] Reverse Lookup for 2 IP Addresses

Originally I had the server at home and on Comcast so I used dyndns.org for DNS. Once the server got a bit more popular, I leased a server at a colo facility. They set up the server name in their DNS so I didn't really have any reason to manage my own DNS. DynDNS was managing the domains and I...

desproxy-dns

desproxy-dns(1) 						   User Commands						   desproxy-dns(1)

NAME

       desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections

SYNOPSIS

	  desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port

OPTIONS

       None

DESCRIPTION

       If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else.  You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names
       to IP addresses.

       NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if
       you are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root).

       OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't know anything about that. You must configure your network
       accordingly (again, need to be root in UN*X).

       Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works.

ENVIRONMENT

       None.

FILES

       None.

SEE ALSO
