- I would rather suggest that he fixed the line causing the problem to
- use the loopback device instead of the eth0 device. So the three config
- lines would become :
- $CONFIG loopback $IPADDR
- $CONFIG loopback 127.0.0.1
- $CONFIG -n $NET -r $ROUTER loopback $IPADDR
-
- This should work. Only other problem I ran into when I fixed this was
- that the namedeamon semed to be a bit picky about the format in the
- namedeamon data files. But that worked out nice too after a little
- fiddling.
