Re: [LI] DNS ?

[Cyrus Patel <cyrus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rajeev,

One of the things that still blows me away about Linux is that it
doesn't need external DNS servers to work. There is a package called
bind which makes your computer a DNS server.

Just install the package (on most dists it is installed by default)
and in your resolve.conf put the line

nameserver 127.0.0.1

Hope this helps
Cyrus
