[MLB-WIRELESS] Testing DNS on the MW network...

I'm still in the process of getting this finalised.... however, as of 
right now, some DNS should work on the MW network...

If you run bind on a machine connected to the internet, you can add the 
following config to your named.conf to have local copies of the zone files.

zone "mw.org.au" {
         type slave;
         file "/var/named/slaves/db.mw.org.au";
         masters { 203.4.136.11; 202.127.210.36; 202.127.210.37; };
	allow-transfer  { 0.0.0.0/0; };
};

zone "10.10.in-addr.arpa" {
         type slave;
         file "/var/named/slaves/10.10.in-addr.arpa";
         masters { 203.4.136.11; 202.127.210.36; 202.127.210.37; };
	allow-transfer  { 0.0.0.0/0; };
};

This may change, however as of right now, this works. You may need to 
substitute the file to something that works for your configuration.

If you don't use bind, then standby - as I'm sure there will be a number 
of DNS servers on the network soon that can be queried...

The servers at 202.127.210.36 and 202.127.210.36 are still in the 
process of being configured - so give that a little while...

The question now is - how can we distribute DNS correctly and still 
allow it to people who do not run their own DNS server? Thoughts?
