netinfo
Authored by: see on Dec 04, '02 12:57:32PM

what i mean is:
set up all the netinfo on the server you have the webserver on (or some other machine on the lan). this machine exports it's info.
the laptop is setup to lookup in the server above.
there is no difference in how it will work, except that netinfo is running anyway, and setting up bind for this trivial problem is overkill imho.
and for macusers in general it would be easier adding hosts in netinfo than setting up bind.
and since netinfo is set to answer before dns by default its a better choice, otherwise you must have your local ns always first in your setup and will produce chatter och your workplace :)

anyways its a nice little "tutorial" how to easily set up bind...
