Try this:

I have used it to prepare my RH6.2 system withe great success.

Will soon put it within my freshly built SME 5.1.2.

[Public DNS]

I try to configure my Public DNS on my server e-smith 5.1.2 and works fine,
I have only one problem, when I try address www.mycompany.com.br ( domains names in Brazil ) doesn't work.

Only work if I try mycompany.com.br without www,

Someone experienced this problem ?

Dear Mats:

I think your problem is periods.

The line where you define mycompany.com.br should end with a period after the br.  But the lines where you define www, ftp or mail should not.
Bind (the program that does the DNS) keeps names that end with a period as they are, names that don't end with a period, bind will pasted the name onto the domain name that is currently being defined.

Please go back to the example files and double check them to your files and see if you have any extra periods.

Dear Jamandre:

About 9 months ago, I wrote an HOWTO document on getting DNS to work on E-Smith 4.1.2 (have since, done it on a E-smith version 5, but forgot if any changes were needed--I don't think so).

This HOWTO is found by going to www.e-smith.org and on the right-hand side is a "contributions" box.  Inside the box is a link to "contributed HOWTOs", a very helpful link.  My HOWTO for Public DNS is at http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/contrib/dual_dns.html

It has been working great.

If somebody finds corrections that needs to be made from 4.1.2 to version 5 I would be curious of them.
