On this note, found a neat little app that will hunt through all DUN connectoids on a PC and change phone numbers, area codes, DNS settings, etc. Great idea when you have a system-wide change like DNS or area codes. Creates a small 45K exectuable that can be thrown on a web page or sent in an email for each user to install. Haven't tried it, but seems worth the $150. http://www.phuzzion.com/DUNIT/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Andrews <mandrews@bit0.com> To: <usr-tc@lists.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, February 03, 2000 1:51 PM Subject: Re: (usr-tc) Forcing DNS
Doesn't matter whose IP address it is. Just add an IP alias for it on your nameserver, and add a static host route (/32) on your Cisco to point to it. Don't route the whole subnet, just the individual IPs.
We did this when we found we had some very old customers using a DNS server of BBN's offsite (before we did server assigned DNS) and BBN renumbered it -- we fudged in an alias for it long enough for us to call all the affected users up and get them to change over to server assigned DNS.

What are the IP addresses?
You maybe able to alias them on your DNS server.

burned to it. I can't come up with anything to redirect the DNS queries at my Cisco 1601 (not running BGP). I've got the HARC setup to assign DNS, and it works properly, but is there a way for me to force the client to use what the HARC specifies?
TIA,
