Step Ten: Testing MASQ functionality with DNS
resolution
Now try TELNETing to a remote machine by DNS name (i.e. "telnet metalab.unc.edu" (IP address 152.2.210.81).
If this works, the output should look like something below. With this test,
this shows that UDP-based DNS is working fine.
--------------------------------
masq-client# telnet MetaLab.unc.edu
Trying 152.2.210.80...
Connected to 152.2.210.80.
Escape character is '^]'.
SunOS 5.7
******************** Welcome to MetaLab.unc.edu *******************
To login to MetaLab as a user, connect to login.metalab.unc.edu.
This machine does not allow public telnet logins.
login: Connection closed by foreign host.
--------------------------------
If this did not work, but Step EIGHT did work, make sure that you have
one or more valid DNS servers configured on each of the MASQ CLIENT
computer(s) as shown in Chapter 4. Please note
that these DNS servers will typically be your ISP's DNS servers and NOT your
local MASQ server. Some people might later choose to setup their OWN DNS
servers but this is beyond the scope of this HOWTO.
