Operational DNS? Was :Re: [MLB-WIRELESS] IP address range for Geelong?

[Andrew Tiltman]

I figured you would have one centralised 'master' bind server, and have each
AP running a slave.. providing the AP's are perminantly connected to the
net.

Run a dynamic dns service where people can register their own sub domains
(pick a couple vanity ones) for the ran on the centralised server (all
slaves get their zone files from the master).

So you use the dns server on whichever AP your connected to....to reduce
traffic over the backbones
(slaves updated periodically, not constantly)
