Hi,

according to doc, "tinydns-data could support a name wherever an IP
address is required; it would look up the name in DNS and use the
resulting address. This would reliably track changes in offsite IP
addresses if the database were rebuilt periodically."

but it does not seems to work for me on a debian (sarge) box. name
resolution is ok for all apps on the box. Do I miss something?

I have tried with names I own and with well known web sites to no extend.

I tried (in /etc/tinydns/root/data) with something like

+toto.hellea.be:www.hellea.be:

or

+tata.hellea.be:www.google.com:

regards,
