Problems with canonical names from an ADSL provider
2005-11-13 21:30:21
Hello!
This may be slightly beyond the scope of Amanda, but I thought I'd try
asking anyway...
Both my Amanda server and (one) backup host are connected to the
Internet via ADSL. It seems that when Amanda on the backup host does a
DNS lookup for my Amanda server, it sees something like:
amanda AT some.really.long DOT and.annoying.hostname
which is generated by my ISP.
Now, since I have a static IP address, the really-long-and-annoying-
hostname shouldn't change. However, I would much rather use the server's
actual hostname (amanda.mydomain.com) instead.
Is there some simple way of working around this? Or am I stuck with the
really-long-and-annoying-hostname unless I do something complicated like
implementing my own DNS lookup server or something like that?
Thanks for any advice you can give me...
Dave
