[Fwd: Re: [MLB-WIRELESS] DNS for melbwireless network?]

[Jason Hecker]

Due to the fragmentation of the MW network, DNS won't work very well at 
the moment, if at all.  In the meantime, maybe set up a thing on the MW 
website for registered users to add and remove IP addresses asscociated 
with their nodes and then it would spit out a standard "hosts" file for 
sticking into /etc/hosts on *nix boxes and 
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows boxes.

- this would of course facilitate access to each node using a "name" 
rather than trying to remember ip addresses - a standard naming 
convention incorporating the node name would work quite well - e.g. 
inq.melbourne.wireless.org.au
