DNS Domain and Workgroup

R

Roneros

Hello!

I'm trying to set squid get the names of pcs thats accessing the net. I configured a new logformat with "%>A" parameter and the result is ok for pcs that's at domain, but the pcs at workgroups, the result is only the ip.
I configured the squid.conf with the ip of Domain Server, the auto DNS configured at DHCP.
Code: 
dns_nameservers xx.xx.xx.xx

I configured the /etc/hosts this way:

Code: 
127.0.0.1      localhost localhost.domain
xx.xx.xx.xx    FreeBSD.domain FreeBSD
xx.xx.xx.xx    DNSServerName
xx.xx.xx.xx    DNSServerName.domain

I configured /etc/resolv.conf this way:

Code: 
domain         FreeBSDDomain
search         DNSServerName.domain
nameserver     xx.xx.xx.xx #(ip of domain server)

What I need to configure more for I can ping the pcs out of the domain? Thanks a lot!
 
Just adding... "What I need to configure more for I can ping the pcs out of the domain?"

...ping BY NAME the pcs out of the domain.
 
A hostname has at least 3 parts:

  1. the top level domain : e.g.'org'
  2. the second level domain: e.g. freebsd
  3. the host name : e.g. forums

If you want to be able to ping the hosts by name you have to set up a local DNS server which can resolve the local hostnames to IP address (forward lookup).

On my private network (192.168.222.0/24) which has the local domain name of 'utp.xnet' I configured a local nameserver.
Code: 
$ dig hydra.utp.xnet  

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> hydra.utp.xnet

Nice one! DNS Configured. But there's something strange, when I 'dig' the host, I get the answer and when I ping the host, I got a error:

FreeBSDT# ping juridico
ping: cannot resolve juridico: Unknown host

And the error is really 'cannot resolve'. Every help is welcome. Tks!
 
Your dig command doesn't supply a good answer: NXDOMAIN. The host does not exist. Try with a fully-qualified domain name, i.e. juridico.yourdomain.com.
 
Ok, juridico is a pc outside my domain, its on a workgroup. If I ping with juridico.workgroup the answer is the same, cannot resolve juridico.workgroup: Unknown host. Tks for reply.
 
Some progress... Somes typos at dns configuration...

Now with a dig on a machine inside win domain:
