NameSurfer 7.6.4.1


The configuration file config/shellui.conf in the NameSurfer directory tree contains a number of configurable settings in a simple, human-readable text format. It is read by the the nsctl program.

Each setting is entered on a line of its own as a "name: value" pair. Empty lines and comments beginning with a # character are allowed. The following settings are supported:

server_host (character string), default 127.0.0.1
The host name or numeric IP address of the machine running the NameSurfer server. Usually this is the same machine as the one running the user interface, so the loopback address 127.0.0.1 may be used.

server_port (integer), default 8054
The port number where the NameSurfer server listens for DNS queries. Used by the user interface to send queries and updates. Should be the same as the dns_port configuration option of the server.

rfc3152_support (true or false), default true
When true, IPv6 reverse records are automatically created as ip6.arpa. Otherwise ip6.int is used.

replace_ptrs (true or false), default false
This option controls how NameSurfer updates reverse map PTR records. If it is set to 'true', when doing update all the existing PTR records for the reverse zone node are removed and replaced with a single new PTR record. Default is 'false'.
