Disable DNS-Server

« on: March 31, 2005, 09:41:08 PM »

I am using a lot of servers in a LAN. There in I have just three servers acting as DNS-server. Now I setup a new SME 6.0.1. I would like now to disable the entire DNS-server functionality from the new server. How can I do this?

Thanks for any hints!

I hope they all have the same data (zone) files.

/sbin/e-smith/config setprop dnscache Forwarder a.b.c.d
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event post-upgrade
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event reboot

a.b.c.d should be one of the DNS servers on your LAN, which must be able to resolve host and domain names on your LAN, and should be able to resolve reverse DNS for your LAN.
