[9fans] I don't understand ndb/dns

[ron minnich]

OK, we did some more work here on THNX today. wireless on the x60 is
up and working with wpa.

But we can't make heads nor tails of how to get dns to work. NAT is
fine: I can ping the dns server from the plan 9 OS running under
lguest.

here is one example. The guest is at 192.168.19.1, the tap0 device on
linux is at 192.168.192. Wireless IP is 10.10.10.144. The dns is at
10.10.10.1.

I can do the following: ndb/dnsdebug @10.10.10.1 cnn.com and get a good answer.

I can cat /net/ndb, and one entry I get is this:
dns=10.10.10.1

Also, there is no dns entry in /lib/ndb/local.

I have also restarted dns, as in ndb/dns -r.

No good. What should I look for?

thanks

ron

shouldn't the dns entry be in your  inside of your net,
something like

ipnet=mynet ip=192.168.19.0 ipmask=255.255.255.0
	dns=10.10.10.1


then if your machine's ip is between 192.168.19.0 and 
255.255.255.0, it will use that dns.

if it's dhcp, then ndb/dns -r should just work.
