hi
i have a rb 433 and a local network and each pc in it has a static ip connected to each other using a switch.
one of the pc’s is a mail server(also static ip) and i want to assign a domain to it instead of the ip.
is that possible using my rb???

P.S
1- the rb is not connected to the network yet and there is no internet involved in my network.
2- i googled first “i swear” and all i found is this “http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/DNS” and didnt get me any where.
thank u and best regards

You can. Use the RB interface ip as the dns server on your client computers. Enter the email server domain name (FQDN required) and the ip in “/ip dns static”. Insure you have “allow-remote-requests=yes” in “/ip dns”.

You said the client computers had static ips. Besides the ip, netmask, and gateway, there should be a setting for the dns servers. Use the ip of the interface on the RB as the dns server. If the RB has an ip of 192.168.88.1/24 on the localnet interface, then use 192.168.88.1 for the dns server on the client localnet computers.
