I should have mentioned that I don't want to go into vi and edit /etc/bind/named.conf and list the nameservers there. I want the forwarding to change automatically when I bring up ppp and get the nameserver addresses back from the ISP. Named is already running at this point. What I currently do is have a script called ip-up.d/named create the "options" section of named.conf with the nameservers listed as forwarders and then kill -HUP `pidof named` to make named reread named.conf. If there is a better solution I'd like to know about it. If this is the best solution then I'll submit it as a wishlist item for the bind package. Thomas
