Re: hostname & how to empty dns

Hi [again :D:S]

Just two questions:

1 - When I use Debian [when a normal router does the DHCP for it] -
from the routers DHCP client list, I only see a "*" for hostname [for
the Debian PC], and I saw it several times now. Am I missing a
package? Why can't the router see the hostname for the Linux PC?
[Normal DVD install, Debian Lenny]


I don't know for that question, that is the same thing on my personal
router... I don't think this comes from a missed package.

2 - How could I empty the local DNS cache under Debian [or generally
under Linux] - Restart networking? [/etc/init.d/networking restart?]


What do you mean by "the local dns" ? You manage your dns directly in
local ? With bind ? Or do you use ISP's DNS ? If you use bind, restart
it for reloading the bind cache.

Thank you!
