Hello all,
   I have searched the mailling lists for this subject but found nothing
relevant.  I suppose this is a question for -questions but I would appreciate
your thoughts.  I would like to be able to run natd and a dhcp-server to
provide internet access to a lan through a single ip address.  I would like to
be able to pass the address of the natd machine as the dns server option to all
dhcp clients to make this a truely dynamic setup.  Unfortunately the only way I
have found to do this is to run named on the gateway machine (this is a small
lan and named seems like overkill/security risk).  Another way (not dynamic in
terms of changing addresses/isps) would be to set up another divert rule and
run a second natd with the -reverse flag and port forward to a static ip
address to be used as a dns server.  Is there any way to set up natd to proxy
dns using the systems current resolver? If not then this feature would be most
helpful.

regards,
Galen
