NetInfo and DNS
Authored by: metafeather on Jul 23, '01 02:09:21PM

In the same spirit...

I have played with NetInfo to establish local resolves for URI domain names on the host machine (following the examples at Evolt - Setting Up Virtual Hosts under OSX), but have not been able to get this information seen by other Macs on my network.

1. Can non-OSX Macs use information in the NetInfo database (like DNS)?

2. Can I export information from NetInfo in any format to zone files for use by BIND?

I know that somehow NetInfo uses Lookupd to manage requests for information amongst various sources, but the only sure fire way I have found for all machines on my network to access the same DNS is to use BIND and remove the entries I made in NetInfo.

Anyone with insight into this?

(instructions for using BIND here )
