- I'm looking for people's experience/opinions/setup recommendations
- on DNS operation at a dialup-on-demand IP site.
-
- I'd like to have our dialupIP subscribers use DNS, so they can use
- FQDN's instead of adresses for e.g. ftp. This works fine but has the
- disadvantage of causing a dialup by nameserver traffic also for other
- non obvious reasons. E.g. the reverse lookups generated by many applications
- cause a dialup just for this query.
-
- Another aspect: If the subscriber site has an authoritative NS for their
- zone and we run secondaries, we could do a zone transfer only if the
- site is connected but not when our nameserver thinks he needs a xfer. We
- dont want to dial the subscriber in general, and not for a zone xfer in
- particular.
-
- What do other people do in this situation?
