Your best bet is to monitor the line (set log +tcp/ip) and try to figure out the difference between packets that you do and don't want to trigger dialing. If there's no difference, I'm afraid you're sunk - can't have your cake & eat it. Personally, I don't give named a named.root. I just use forwarders x.x.x.x y.y.y.y options forward-only Where x.x.x.x and y.y.y.y are my ISPs cache nameservers. > Thanks, > Henning > > > -- > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > Henning Wickhorst > Elmshorn, Germany E-Mail: h.wickhorst@elmshorn.netsurf.de > ------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.org>, <brian@freebsd.org> <http://www.awfulhak.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
