I'm a newbie to both FreeBSD and Unix but I'm learning.  In just over a
month, I've succeeded in installing 4.0-S, learning to use CVSup to synch my
source, recompiled my kernel and upgraded to 4.1-S, and gotten Apache
running.

My next endeavor is to set up named (DNS). All I want to do is include
entries for the 3 nodes on my network so they can be resolved and then
forward any other requests to my ISP for resolution. I know only a little
about DNS and found the "man named.conf" page over my head. Can anyone
either point me to a URL that may assist me or post a named.conf example for
what I want to do?

However, there is (possibly) a catch.  My home network is as follows:

   ISP
    |
    |
  MODEM
    | 
    |           Ethernet
WINDOWS 2K <-----------------> FreeBSD BOX
  SERVER                       192.168.0.5
192.168.0.254

BTW, I plan to make my FreeBSD machine my firewall/router once I understand
what I'm doing.  Anyway, I dial up to different ISPs so the DNS server
changes with each dial-up.

Thanks for your help!

Drew
