This site worked for me. I like it when the commands are in
little boxes so I can cut and paste into my SSH terminal
box. With dual screen you can move quickly. <br>

They had a nice write up on how Windows tried to implement

It seems to work too. <br>

DNS server for the house. I was thinking of looking
into that, but it seems it has already been done. I
like that mDNS will work with regular DNS. I will
have to evolve into this. I figure if I keep trying
to keep track my network stuff with hand written
files, that eventually it will be so painful and
hard that learning a bunch of new stuff will be the
easy way out.... Does building a better mouse trap
only create smarter mice? Wait a minute I see some
cheese <br>
