I have what is probably a simple question, but none of the documentation 
I've read, including the O'Reilly 'DNS & BIND' book, seems to actually 
cover my case for setting up named.

The system _is_ currently working, in that all DNS operations work, but I 
do periodically get notices like:

  named: Lame server on '1.67.190.199.in-addr.arpa' ...

and

  /kernel: arplookup 140.145.254.251 failed: host is not on local network

The FreeBSD machine is connected with 2 other machines locally. The
gateway is a FRAD (205.148.224.1) and my provider handles the
nameserver(s) - which is the twist that makes most example setups I've
seen not completely applicable. My named.boot is very minimalist... 

---- named.boot
directory	/etc/namedb
cache     .							named.root
primary   0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA	localhost.rev
----
The FreeBSD system is rigel.orionsys.com at 205.148.224.9 and the ISP's 
nameservers are at 199.190.65.3 and 198.67.33.102 and have entries 
defining this system.

---- /etc/sysconfig
hostname=Rigel.orionsys.com
defaultdomainname=orionsys.com
tcp_extensions=YES
network_interfaces="lo0 ix0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"
ifconfig_ix0="inet 205.148.224.9 netmask 0xffffff00"
static_routes="multicast loopback"
route_multicast="224.0.0.0 -netmask 0xf0000000 -interface ${hostname}"
route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"
defaultrouter=205.148.224.1
routedflags=-q
namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot"

netstat -i gives:

Is this setup really the most appropriate for this configuration?
