Title: Full Functioning DNS Server
Post by: gpapaiko on January 17, 2006, 12:37:03 PM

Can some please tell me if SME 6.5 for 7pre1 can function as full DNS servers .

I would like to set on up as a public DNS server so I can host my own dns address.

Unless you *really* know what you are doing I'd advise you not to do that. Use one of the very good free or low cost DNS services.

I have done a search and all I can find is on how to set it up as a forwarder.

Since you have set yours up do have any instruction?

do you know how I can set up CNAME's>

Thanks.
