We have been granted a class C, and would like to set up a couple of domain names within it. From my understanding, setting up a DNS on one of our local machines, will allow us to assign IP numbers within our class C address space to domain names. I'm hoping FreeBSD has services for setting up a DNS as I am hoping to use a FreeBSD machine as the workhorse for our e-mail, usenet news, shell, and maybe WWW server. Additionally, we have a 3Com Remote Office 227 IP router, which seems to be functioning properly. I can ping internet IP numbers from the router, and I can telnet to the router from the internet. Can anybody give any hints on setting up FreeBSD to access the router(and in turn the Internet) ? I haven't installed the FreeBSD software on the machine yet. (next day or two) Cheers. -Kurt
