When I dial up my ISP, the ppp scripts modify the /etc/resolv.conf file so that it lists the two nameservers that the ISP says to use. The latter nameservers appear second and third in the list, the first being 127.0.0.1, which is taken from /etc/ppp/resolv/my-ISP. Thus the first nameserver to be consulted is on the local machine, and accordingly I run named.
What I would like to know is how I can set up named so that it uses the two ISP-provided namservers as forwarders. Is there a standard way of doing this? If so, what is it? If not, should the ppp scripts be enhanced to do it automagically? Thomas Hood
