[Server-devel] DNS/DHCP configuration questions/issues

the dhcpd configs works for IP assignment
wlan0 (802.11 wifi dongle on the server) is on the  172.18.96.0/19 subnet
xos gets an ip but nothing in the /etc/resolv.conf on the xo side
neither domain that allows to register (xmlrpc client to
http://localhost:8080) nor to moodle (http://localhost) but using
directly the IP of the schoolserver works.

It's only a DNS issue now between dhcpd/named and the xos.

My best regards,

Xavier Carcelle.
