Hi all,
this is my first post, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm running 1.5.2 as a router on my home network that is connected to the
internet through roardrunner's cable modem service.
I have registered my own domain, and through a dynaming DNS service set that
domain to point to my dynamic IP address. I can connect to my computer from
outside using host.my.domain. However, when I connect from my computer to
outside servers, my domain is being reported as my-ip-address.nyc.rr.com.
Using dhclient I added these three lines in /etc/dhclient.conf:
send fqdn.fqdn "host.my.domain.";
send fqdn.encoded off;
send fqdn.server-update on;
hoping to "force" my domain name upon my ISP's DNS server. However, this
doesn't have the desired effect.
Am I making sense? Is there a way to make reverse lookups return my
domainname rather than the one my ISP assigns?
Thanks,
IvanK.
