Re: [9fans] Plan9 DNS server

[Skip Tavakkolian <9nut@9netics.com>]

are you handing out IP configuration via dhcp? 

i have a mixed plan9, linux, mac os x, windows environment.  my
/lib/ndb/local is based on /n/sources/plan9/lib/ndb/local.complicated.
there are at least two cpu's that serve as dns and dhcp servers.  some
non-plan9 systems have entires in ndb (i.e.  by MAC address); the rest
get their IP's assigned from a pool.  dhcp correctly hands out dom,
smtp, dns, auth, etc.  as configured in the ndb.
