→INVESTIGATION 2: CONFIGURING THE DNS CLIENT
#Only install the '''bind-utils''' package for your '''vm2''' and '''vm3''' machines.
#You will need to configure your '''vm2''' and '''vm3''' to use vm1's IPADDR as the '''default DNS server''' (DNS1) in your '''ifcfg-eth0''' (or ''ifcfg-en0'') file for your network interface card.<br>You should know how to do that, but if you forgot the procedure, refer to [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/OPS335_Lab_1#Making_Persistent_.28Permanent.29_Network_Setting_Changes Lab 1].
# You can, but you shouldnshould '''NOT'''t, set your Host Machine to use '''vm1''' as the DNS server. DNS is a critical component of your network setup and if it's not working right - you won't even be able to look for a solution online (or get to this wiki page) on your host. Also your host is configured to be a DHCP client and it gets its DNS server assigned automatically.
