Re: [Astlinux-devel] Can't Add Bind to New Dev Build

[Lonnie A. <li...@lo...>]

Hi Josh,

"host" on AstLinux is a symlink to "unbound-host", and as you mentioned it works with NAPTR lookups ...
--
pbx3 ~ # host -t NAPTR hpbxsec.deutschland-lan.de
hpbxsec.deutschland-lan.de has NAPTR record 10 0 "s" "SIPS+D2T" "" _sips._tcp.hpbxsec.deutschland-lan.de.
--

Good to know :-)

I also wasn't aware of the LXC container functionality in Astlinux - that could be useful at some point! I've been using Astlinux for perhaps 8 years at this point and I am happy that it still seems to be going strong.
