TIA for any input. > ... doug You have everything you need. AFAIK there is no example that comes with the system. Resolv.conf is pretty straight forward. e.g. hostresorder local bind nameserver 128.95.120.2 nameserver 128.95.112.2 nameserver 128.95.120.1 domain u.washington.edu search u.washington.edu washington.edu See man resolv.conf for better info.
