BIND is a bit of overkill for your setup. Check out dnsmasq - it works for my home 'network' (two Debian boxes, one of which is the dial-up server / firewall / Web proxy / cacheing nameserver etc.). You can find the dnsmasq homepage at http://www.thekelleys.freeserve.co.uk/dnsmasq/ Mike -- Mike Jones Unix System Administrator Office for National Statistics South Wales, UK For the latest data on the economy and society consult National Statistics at http://www.statistics.gov.uk ********************************************************************** Legal Disclaimer : Any views expressed by the sender of this message are not necessarily those of the Office for National Statistics **********************************************************************
