[Samba] DNS information, again...

[Ryan Ashley]

Certainly. Here you go!

ddns-update-style none;
option domain-name "kigm.local";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.1;
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
log-facility local7;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
   option routers 192.168.0.254;
   option domain-search "kigm.local";
   range 192.168.2.101 192.168.2.200;
}

Note that on DC01 (the current dead DC due to a bad RAID controller) the 
file is the same, except for the name-server addresses being reversed 
and DC01 handing out IP addresses from 192.168.2.1 through 
192.168.2.100. This way they both function when both servers are up AND 
I have failover if one dies, as is my case right now.
