I'm trying to study computer networking simply as a hobby (I'm old and don't have anything better to do). I have two Asus netbooks and have installed FreeBSD on both of them (off-line, as in no Internet connection). I want "/etc/hosts" of one of the PC's on the network to be used as the database for all name lookups on the network. In other words, not using any type of server, like unamed, bind. Or am I getting too stupid with low level name resolution? Thanks all!
