Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I and using a FreeBSD 4.1 server as a gateway for a small LAN of 5 workstations. They are all Windows workstations using Outlook for POP3 mail. I had a POP3 mailhost at my ISP, however it doesn't appear to work through NAT (can't resolve hostname). I have configured a cache only named daemon however I am not sure it is working, or if that is even the problem. Should I use sendmail and use it to forward email through the firewall/nat server and/or a pop3 port, or should the workstations be able to resolve hostnames using NAT? I am not sure. I just know that I keep getting "ns_req: no address for root server" messages from the named daemon. I think I have the firewall and NAT configure properly and recompiled the Kernel with all of the right stuff. mgruver@reveregroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
