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: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll lp0* 1500 0 0 0 0 0 ix0 1500 00.aa.00.36.67.74 366791 0 293783 0 238 ix0 1500 205.148.224 rigel 366791 0 293783 0 238 lo0 16384 3379 0 3379 0 0 lo0 16384 your-net localhost 3379 0 3379 0 0 sl0* 552 0 0 0 0 0 tun0* 1500 0 0 0 0 0 Is this setup really the most appropriate for this configuration? -Dave Babler
