I am not running named, getting DNS from my ISP. I can't figure where
the * records could be. Here is a sample of my hosts file:
::1 localhost.MYDOMAIN.com localhost
127.0.0.1 localhost.MYDOMAIN.com localhost
EXTERNAL.IP.ADD.RESS web.MYDOMAIN.com web
EXTERNAL.IP.ADD.RESS web.MYDOMAIN.com.
10.10.10.254 web.MYDOMAIN.com web
10.10.10.254 web.MYDOMAIN.com.
10.10.10.10 ANOTHERSERVER.MYDOMAIN.com ANOTHERSERVER
10.10.10.20 workstation1.MYDOMAIN.com
10.10.10.30 workstation2.MYDOMAIN.com
I am not sure what the first ::1 is, just got it from the default I
think. Also, I have things listed twice... Not sure why I did that.
May have something to do with some specific with a . After them... Could
this be part of the prob?
