I have a RH 4.1 [kernel 2.0.34] box running Squid 1.NOVM.18. Box connects
to my ISP thru PPP at 9:30 every morning and logs off at 5:30 every
evening. This box, as is obvious, provides Proxy facility to all LAN users.
I have defined two of my ISP DNSes in resolv.conf. Thus, upon connection,
ISP becomes default gateway.
I have a domain registered. Upon registration, I gave DNSes of another ISP
who hosts this domain for me BUT only for mail i.e. MX and not Web.
I want that my domain, while still work for MX entries at my other ISP,
should also work for me for other entries i.e. A, CNAME, etc. Is that
possible? If yes then I would make my Linux box a proper DNS and will add
the required entries.
If its not possible, then can I just locally host this domain for local
network users? The problem is that Primary and Secondary DNS defined are of
ISP -- thus Linux won't look for the DNS available at localhost. How should
I make it do this? Should I add localhost as a tertiary DNS?
Thanks.
