Seems like all I need is a simple pass-through. For that named seems like overkill. Anyone have an /etc/named/named.conf that does that? I normally run a copy of djbdns on the private IP, having private clients use that for DNS. Alternately, the private clients could just use your ISP's caching servers, which should work without any other configuration (possibly an allowance on the firewall). - Darek
