We have no intention of registering any of the nodes with Allstar and don’t want to interact with it in any way. We plan to do our own linking system, likely using something like the Ubiquiti products, so we want to keep the internet type of IP addresses.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">So that’s why I’m trying to get the Allstar DNS refresh function turned off and the function removed for updating it. I had planned on listing all the nodes in rpt.conf, but in exploring the DNS function am now wondering if I can get it turned off, would it work to make my own node file in /var/rpt_extnodes format and let the system use it. That would be helpful because we potentially could have over 100 nodes, each on a BBB, and it would be easier to add, subtract, or change node lookups via one file than mess with rpt.conf and risk breaking something else.</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">So far in trying to stop the creation of the /tmp/rpt_extnodes file I have set enable=no in /etc/asterisk/dnsmgr.conf, renamed the rpt_extnodes link in /var/lib/asterisk, and erased the /tmp/rpt_extnodes file. But the link and file keep coming back. Will you tell me how to stop this?</span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></p><p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">BTW, this is a project several of us are undertaking for the Arizona Repeater Association based in Phoenix.

Don't try to reinvent the rules! The node number you have made up is probably an echolink node number.<br><br>If a node is truly private you would NOT advertise it. No statpost statements in rpt.conf. Comment them out. <br><br>The system will always go to the nodes statement in rpt.conf first BUT you are confusing it with an invalid node number.<br><br>Is this a completely private system meaning you do not want to connect or register to any valid node? In that case you would have no registered nodes and therefore the node update would not work and not create the outside node list. Are you registering a valid node?
