Network Hosts file/DNS
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 6:35 am
I'm on a new network and I've installed a Linux dev server at work (all Windows servers before).
and I want to do name based virtual hosting. Which is easy enough when I manually edit my /etc/hosts file on my mac so for example
somesite.dev 192.168.0.10
192.168.0.10 is the Linux server's address.
which is fine for me but I'd like a way of having a network-wide hosts file so all machines have the same hosts file (macs and windows). Is this possible? Or would I need to set up a DNS on my Linux server?
Any ideas?
