Thanks for the input. When I changed line 10 of /var/named/dnsalias.net.hosts record from CNAME to A, and restart bind, I get the message, "bad dotted quad". Did I change the right line? I tried removing "."s but still got the same message.
Is NAT in the iptables? Seems I saw something about that along with ip masquerading.
