I've been using the AnnexXL with NetBSD system for dialup fine up til now.
Just now I tried to assign names to all the dialup IPs ie.:
dial001.future.net 204.130.134.101
and users can't dialup and connect anymore. NetBSD complains:
Apr 5 21:51:58 dream /netbsd: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo
Apr 5 21:52:11 dream last message repeated 13 times
Why? this was added to /etc/namedb/forward and /etc/namedb/reverse
appropriately.
forward has for example:
...
dial001 IN A 204.130.134.101
...
reverse has:
...
101 IN PTR dial001.future.net.
...
every thing seems fine. without the names, the IPs alone works fine
when not defined in /etc/namedb/*
