Topic: E-smith as nameserver

[Sander]

Does e-smth act as a nemeserver (ns.something.ee) when my domain registration form is been checked.
I dont have a registered domain yet, but as soon as i con fet e-smith to respond to nameserver commands and connect with it to internet i would like to registar a regional domain.

e-smith is configured by default to only provide the DNS to the local network, not to the internet. Unless you want to customize the /etc/rc.d/init.d/masq.conf file (highly unadvisable and dangerous, trust me; I foolishly tried and got burnt), you need an external DNS server for the internet to find you. If your registrar does not provide this for you, try something like www.zoneedit.com (free and good). I don't know if they deal with .ee domains, though.

Good luck,
Sergei
