DNS-fun

Yesterday I read about Avahi which is rather easy to fix on Ubuntu, and my Mac mini seems to support it out of the box. But while this worked nice, I decided to improve my DNS-support in order to easy connect to the computers in my LAN. While I wanted to implement it correctly, I decided to fix a split-DNS configuration using the view-construct of Bind 9. It turned out to get it working pretty easy and now I’ve a nice working DNS-setup and can ping ‘laptop’, ‘nebula’, ‘truus’ (computer of my girlfriend) and ‘macmini’. From the ‘outside’ these DNS-entries are invisible.
