Secondary DNS server. How?
« on: October 14, 2001, 06:58:28 AM »
I have recently moved our box to a e-smith 4.1.2 box.
  There are lots of things we like about 4.1.2 eg php,mysql,webmail etc.
  But I have a DNS problem:
  Our old machine was running redhat 5.2 and we hosted our own domain (eg www.myschool.edu) a static IP (say 1.2.3.4) and
  permanent modem connection. We also ran our own mail server (Q-mail). This box had a Secondary DNS being our ISP -
  ns1.telstra.net with the IP 139.130.4.5 and also had a secondary mailserver postoffice.telstra.net.
  Now Since I have configured the e-smith 4.1.2 box I cannot see how to configure the criteria above and consequently our site
  is no longer reachable on http://www.myschool.edu but only on http://1.2.3.4
  Could anyone suggest how I can setup the e-smith box so that the DNS is operating correctly?
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  BTW I have looked at the Publice DNS server posting in the contributed HOWTO's but I am unable to modify it correctly.
Note: I've tried posting my problem to the Experienced User forum  but as yet I have had no reply. So again if you can help it would be most appreciated.
