To anyone that will help,
Can someone please give me a simple step-by-step on setting up the DNS
server on our Cobalt RaQ3.
We just purchased it and sent it to a colocation facility where they
turned it on, inputed the primary ip and subnet and that's it.
How do we setup the domain name for the machine itself(primary ip) and
the dns sever.
I tryed to follw the manual but it did not make much sense to me.
Thanks in advance,
Robert Hughes
