5.3 & /etc/rc.network

[Gerard Samuel]

Im reading an older article that refers to
/etc/rc.network
Is there an equivalent to /etc/rc.network
in FreeBSD 5.3?

Thanks

Not a single script. Instead varios scripts for varios tasks, scripts
are in /etc/rc.d names should be sufficient explanation.

Cheers, Erik

Yeah I was looking at the files in /etc/rc.d, but Im not sure on how to
do what I
was hoping to do...
Im attempting to setup "split dns", using instructions from
[url]http://www.cfcl.com/rdm/split_DNS.html[/url]
(Specifically under the heading "/etc/rc.network")

Can anyone point me as to what can be done to run 2 instances of bind,
using freebsd 5.3 rc system???

Thanks

This is not necessary with FreeBSD 5.3

5.3 ships with bind 9. Bind 9 supports DNS zones that receive different
results. Thus you can set up "split" DNS with a single instance of
bind. I expect this will be easier/better than trying to run two
seperate bind instances. See the bind docs.

According to [url]http://www.bind9.net/Bv9ARM.ch04.html#AEN753[/url]
It mentions 2 sets of name servers.
Im about to re-read the chapter to make sure I didn't miss anything...

Ah.
I just came across
[url]http://www.bind9.net/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#view_statement_grammar[/url]
which mentions that its not neccessary to have multiple servers with
split dns, when using the "view" statement.
So I'll see what I can do from here...

Thanks
