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.
