Use different DNS servers for different domains
Authored by: bluehz on Jun 30, '04 11:43:39AM

Hmm.. thought I would give this a test, but not having any luck..

Internal lan (several mac os x machines, one slackware linux box with DNS server running)

e.g. myhome.lan is my internal domain, DNS is at 192.168.1.10

added /etc/resolver/myhome.lan

contents of myhome.lan:

nameserver: 192.168.1.10

and

/etc/resolver/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa

contents of 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa:

nameserver: 192.168.1.10

and then removed my dns server IP from the SysPref Pane. It should be able to locate items via their domain now. Not working though... I have no ability to identify any of the machines on the LAN and unless I specifically add my ISP DNS numbers - thats dead also (should be pulling that off the router). Normally I keep the IP of the linux DNS server in the Sys Prefs DNS field and that works fine. Once removed... dead.

Any suggestions?

Try to remove colons ":" from your configs first - it should be just
----------
nameserver 192.168.1.10
----------

oops - no colons in the actual file - I added those by mistake when posting.
