Sorry I know that I did not explain all details, that's because first of all
I wanted to understand the concepts in my former post. Thank you and all
other guys who replied to my post.
Well, actually I want to use bind just to play around with it, because I
want to practise the most important things in linux. I already set up dhcp
correctly, I also configured an iptables script and now I wanted to play
with dns. My linux machine is connected to my home LAN on eth0 and with a
Netgear Firewalled Router on eth1 through different class private ip
addresses. The Netgear router has the public dynamic address. The rest of
the LAN connects to the Internet through bluto.
