Talk:Domain Name Server

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

I hope I am doing this right. I've never worked with a WIKI before.

Paul, In your article about the DNS, I found the lead in a little confusing. It just seemed to me that it started in the middle of an explaination and then went to the beginning.

Other than that, I think it looks really good. I did notice someone copied it and put it into his post (I think it was either Pappa or AzWoody). I'm not sure if the person tried to claim that it was his or not. or if it was the other way around.  :(

Anybody else see what I was talking about on the lead in of this article?

[edit] Paul changes

Try it now. I stole the second part from Azwoody as it is pretty good. Needs some massaging though ... still not written to standard ...

Uhmm... looking back, I realize I didn't make myself clear as to what I was talking about.  :(

Why DNS Changes Do No Not Occur Immediately Reseting your network will not help, unless you are running your own DNS server.

With the change, the "name" used to access the Scheduler translates into a IP address different than what it was before.

Actually, this is the part that confuses me. It just doesn't seem to flow, IMHO.
