Flushing Mappings from the Cache (CLI)
Configuring DNS (CLI)
The CLI includes built-ins for nslookup and getent hosts, which can be used to test that
hostname resolution is working:
hostname:> nslookup deimos
192.168.1.109 deimos.sf.fishworks.com
hostname:> getent hosts deimos
192.168.1.109 deimos.sf.fishworks.com
DNS Properties and Logs
The configurable properties for the DNS client include a base domain name and a list of
servers, specified by IP address. You must supply a domain name and at least one server
address; the server must be capable of returning an NS (NameServer) record for the domain you
specify, although it need not itself be authoritative for that domain.
