Yes, OK, so now if I try to connect to 'fred' the system will look for fred.isbd.co.uk as well as fred. However where/how does fred.isbd.co.uk get resolved to an IP address? Two or three of my 'fred's are print servers and/or printers which don't have a lot of inherent intelligence.
On your DNS server, preferably locally. I'm not keen having private IPs made available on a public nameserver.
I'll have to look into how that's configured then, I suppose it does make some sense to do it this way as, although I still need a list of names/IP addreses there will only be one copy - in the DNS server.
I then need to point all the other systems (windows, print servers, whatever) to the Linux server which does DNS and the Linux server uses the router as its DNS server - correct?
