Title: Configuration of HOSTS
Post by: JImc on Wednesday 12 August 2009, 11:55:32 pm
We have one server 10.168.30.60 (DMZ IP) that uses 2 names; If I modify /etc/host to hold;
Code:
10.168.30.60    mail.Server.Domain    Server.Domain mail

I can get things to work

If I use the EFW config Network-> add Host the closest I can get is

Code:
10.168.30.60    mail.Server.Domain    Server.Domain mail
10.168.30.60     Server.Domain           Server

Which does not work as one of the addresses don't resolve locally.

Memory says that only 1 IP in the /etc/hosts file is actually used and any Duplicated are ignored

Looks like a change is needed to host.cgi, and usr/local/bin/rebuildhosts to do this.

I'm looking at the code for hosts.cgi, but rebuildhosts is binary.

Is the source for rebuildhost available or is it non GPL?

I'm working with EFW 2.2

Current Production Firewall is EFW 2.1 and we don't have these problems with the server(s)

Hi Guys ,
im working with 2.2 final,  and it works o.k,,,,i did have to enable dns proxy though since that i.p is private and only resolves internally.
