5.2. Managing name resolution

The Naming tab

Figure 5.11. The Naming tab

Variables on the Naming tab directly correspond to the contents of /etc/hosts and /etc/networks files. Their use is mostly optional, name resolution is faster if most important name-IP address pairs are listed in /etc/hosts. A correctly configured resolver can provide the same service.

Note

If you intend to use the Postfix native proxy on the PNS host, you exceptionally have to supply the Mailname parameter.
