RE: Setting UP DNS

What you can do is come up with a name for your internal web site. Like
as400.RELIATEK.COM  or website.RELIATEK.COM, you get the point, something
beside www. And have your ISP add this to the DNS zone file. You could come
up with another domain, like RELIATEK.NET, and use this for your internal
domain (zone file). If you do not like these ideals. And you go ahead and
have two zone files, make sure you know what is in the ISP zone file, and
see what you need in yours, with the IP address changed for the WWW.

For your PC with XP Pro start a command session and key in nslookup this
will tell you what DNS server you are using, type exit to get out of
nslookup, NSLOOKUP starts a program where you can enter commands. You can
key in ls -a reliatek.com   to see what is in the zone file, while you are
in NSLOOKUP. Your DHCP can be used to tell its clients what dns server to
use, you probably just want to change one PC to use the AS400 as the DNS
for a testing, before changing the DHCP to point to the new DNS server.
Also put one or two of your ISP's DNS as a second DNS so if the AS/400 is
down you still have DNS.
