Re: [Nolug] DNS/Reverse Lookup and a Host file.

I'll be honest and say I'm kind of confused on the host file issue. Does
each host file specify all of the hosts that should belong in each zone
file? Better yet, can you quickly walk through an actual example of what
you are trying to do? Not a script (or you wouldn't be asking), but what is
in the host file and what you want to end up with.
