When it receives the setup info from the DHCP server, it also updates /etc/resolv.conf with a list of nameservers. I have named configured as a forwarding-only nameserver, and want it to use the DNS hosts listed in resolv.conf. Will named pick this up from the file, or do these servers have to be configured in the named config files? Does named use resolv.conf in any way? I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE, and the version of named that comes with it. I am not subscribed to freebsd-questions, so please be sure to copy any replies to this email address.
