Hello I have local 10.0.0.0/24 network connected through SNAT server with linux 2.4.7 to the internet. All hosts from local network I have in /etc/hosts, but it looks like this file is ignored or what. in resolv.conf I have search domain.cz, this is domain of NAT server. Next lines are nameservers 127.0.0.1 and DNS outside. In hosts.conf I have order hosts,bind and multi on. When I try host 10.0.0.67 I get answer Name: station11 Address: 10.0.0.67
but when I want host station11 I get station11.domain.cz does not exist. No matter If local bind is on/off. And when I try host server I get answer for external addres of it including domain.cz. Bind is only configured as cache DNS, without any domains. I need internal addres without domain name. Samba server on that server answer only to some machines. Either communicating with PDC is problematic so authentication is not good. It is so confused. All is on woody linux 2.4.7 i386. Where Is the problem? Thank for all. Marek Cermak
