hello all,
I try to configure sendmail in my server but I think that I must configure my DNS at first. is it the same with the DHCP server that can configure by editing the dhcpd.conf file and insert the appropriate configuration and start the service or, I must do anything.
can any body help me please!! :shock:

DNS is done by BIND in LINUX , see bind documentation.

ah ok, in the search of help domain name service (DNS) I look that I must edit 8 files; so
/etc/hosts; /etc/host.conf; ....../var/named/db.mycompagny.com.hosts;
is it true and if it's right how can I test my new domain.
thank you for all
