Can IPCop Do DNS?

[Carlosinfl]

I have an IPCop machine in my home which works fine. I right now have no add-ons or plugins installed so it's a fairly vanilla install and working no problem however I was wondering if this IPCop machine can do my internal DNS so I don't have to always address each machine via internal IP (10.1.1.X). I would rather like to ping and or ssh to the machine name. Is this something IPCop can do or must I stand up a dedicated DNS server for this?

Thanks for any info!

IPcop does DNS cache services. You should see the area to config this on the Web GUI. It has been awhile since I've used IPcop, but I know the service is there. I think it's under Hosts. You put the IP address and name of your PCs and also you need to assign a domain name to your internal domain like Home.net or something. Then you point all your client PCs to your IPcop box for DNS and this will give you DNS resolution for your internal network.
