They've made things much more difficult than they need to be. Here's my setup, all IP addresses have been changed to protect the innocent :) - Start by assigning a subnet 199.190.102.124/29 (netmask 255.255.255.248) - 199.190.102.124 will be the network address for your LAN - 199.190.102.131 will be the broadcast address - I would suggest to assign 199.190.102.125 as the primary IP on your router (machine that is making the ppp connection to your ISP). This will serve as the default gateway for all other machines on your LAN. - Next, when making your connection, your ISP should assign your ppp session an IP address outside your subnet (say 199.190.102.129), and route your subnet to that IP address. Assuming that you run FreeBSD on your router, you'll need to edit /etc/rc.conf to turn the 'gateway' option on. Your usable IP addresses range from 102.125 to 102.130 >> Also.

If you insist on tackleing it yourself, I would reccomend reading the DNS and BIND book from ORA.
