It appears as though after x amount of time I have to restart bind9 on the core in order for my clients to resolve dns. Anybody have any thoughts as to why I need to keep restarting bind9?

Just curious if any headway had been made on this project. I've never programmed for the iPhone before, but am interested in learning. I would definitely be interested in an orbiter for my iPhone.

This is really odd, I woke up this morning and dns resolution seems to be working. Hopefully it continues this way. Thanks for your help and guidance, I really appreciate it!

After updating the DNS servers from webadmin, I click update and the machine reboots itself. I checked named.conf.forwarders and it has the correct info. I suspect the problem lies within LinuxMCE because on the core I can access any website I wish, but on the clients I can only access websites by IP address.

I used dig as suggested and got results for all options. Some had faster response times, the core and my router. I've used the web admin to use dns servers from opendns, my router, and my isp, but all produce the same result which leads me to believe it is something in the linuxmce configuration. I don't understand why I can change the dns in dhcpd.conf, restart dhcp3-server and then everything works, but when left up to linuxmce it fails. This is most annoying as my entire network is down. I love the idea of linuxmce and other than this small issue, everything else seems to be working.

Hmm, I used it, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for in the results. Is there anyway that I can just change the default DNS server from 192.168.80.1?

Thanks for the reply, that link doesn't seem to work. I've never used dnsutils, but am trying to find a how-to on google.

That seemed to work, but only for about an hour. Now it looks like the client machines will resolve dns, but it's so slow that they end up timing out before resolution. I'm using OpenDNS's servers as recommended. 208.67.220.220, 208.67.222.222 This is an odd issue and I've tried looking through the forum and google for something related, but to no avail. Any help is most definitely appreciated!

I have a clean install of LinuxMCE 0710 from DVD with the recommended dual NIC setup. Everything seems to be working correctly except for my internet. My client machines receive an IP from the core, but cannot resolve domain names. If I change the domain-name-servers in dhcpd.conf to the router on my external network they are able to resolve dns, but this does not last as dhcpd.conf gets re-written upon reboot and/or adding new devices. Not sure where to go from here.
