The gateway is running natd, named, and dhcpd for the internal machines and does a great job.  The only problem is that internal names are not resolved properly.  How do I get private1.example.net to resolve to 192.168.1.2 on my internal network?  Do I have to write a SOA record, or is there an easy way to do it with /etc/hosts?  Right now it seems to resolve to the gateway machine; all external names are resolved fine.  Any help appreciated.  Files available if they would be useful.

Yes, you need to create a local zone to have internal DNS resolve.
One of the best explanations on DNS that I know of is in "The Complete
FreeBSD" by Greg Lehey. If you don't already have that book, I recommend
it.
