Re: [cobalt-users] FW: Name-based host problem

[Nikolas Samios <ns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I think that won't work. Must dial-in users can't change anything about
DNS-servers, because they're hooked up to a DHCP-Server that dynamically pushes
the DNS-settings and gateway to use in a dial-up-connection to the users.

That's the sad thing with DNS. You sometimes have to wait for ages until the
changes are accepted by the last crappy servers somewhere on the planet.

Bye,

Niko
