Changelog?

uruiamme — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 03:58:57 -0000

I've got an older install, so I was wanting to see a changelog to see if I need to update.

Also, does the installation do an update or does it install the new version in a separate folder?

And finally, are the config files compatible?

Error: Using IP address in DHCP Opt 66 or 150

rkmwpb — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 02:47:56 -0000

Dual Server has an error I've verified in both v7.75 & v8.00 RC.

Using an IP address (four octets, eg- 99.99.99.99) in DHCP option# 66 or 150 (DHCP Options for TFTP server), will produce strange unicode results that are unrelated to the data.

For example, the following works fine:
66=tftp-server.internal

Yet the following (either of the records) results in strange being delivered by DualServer:

66=10.10.10.10
150=10.10.1.010

In addition, there is something about the #3 option (Router aka Default Gateway) that doesn't work on the majority of my machines (linux or Windows). All other fields are populated; however, the Default Gateway is not.

It makes no difference whether I use the name or number, for example:

Router=10.10.10.1
3=10.10.10.1

Trying to configure DNS for hostnames without the trailing domain name required

@Henry Nichols - I'm just seeing this now. It may be too late, but the fix in your case is to add the domain to search in the Windows IPv4 config (nothing to do with Dual Server).

Lose DNS every time we loose the internet connection

Michael D Foegelle — Thu, 23 May 2024 14:28:46 -0000

I've had a long-standing issue with the DNS server portion of DualServer that when we lose our internet connection (bad weather blocking reception or a power glitch) the DNS quits serving addresses and I have to manually restart the service to get it working again. Any ideas on how to fix this permanently?

Thanks,

Beo

I'm encountering the same, could you tell me how you got around this issue? This is my .ini file:

localdomain.com

C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup rac1

Sources for version 7.60 anyone?

Martin Fuchs-Lautensack — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 07:24:41 -0000

Hello all,
please can anyone help out with the sources for version 7.60? The link in the project history is dead.
I tried to contact the author but no response yet.
Thank you so much,
Regards,
Martin

Never mind - I guess I just needed to not specify the domain name to begin with! I thought I had to add something there. Apparently not!

Hi all,

I have dualserver working perfectly for DHCP, however, my DNS configuration seems to only resolve names if I specify the hostname.domainname format and not just the bare hostname. Normally, I'd try to configure the domain-name DHCP option for this but it seems this was replaced with the [DOMAIN_NAME] section where I did configure my domain name. However, I cannot look up hosts without specifying the domain name suffix each time. What am I doing wrong here? TIA!

example:
C:>ping host_0
Ping request could not find host host_0. Please check the name and try again.

C:>ping host_0.test.com
Pinging host_0.test.com [192.168.1.40] with 32 bytes of data:

.txt records - SPF, DKIM etc

staffie2001uk — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 17:47:53 -0000

Is it possible to create/add text records, for functions such as SPF and DKIM, to the DNS?
Apologies if I have missed this in the manual.
