I'm afraid that in this particular case, for various political reasons
the "ISP" is not in a position to provide the necessary entries, hence 
the need for me to setup a local DNS server

Obviously I'm not the only one who believes its " not as hard 
as some of the documentation makes it sound" :) Judging from
most of the unix stuff I've learned to date its probably as simple
as falling off a log, & the problem is simply less than explicit docs.
I've recently produced an entry level tutorial on basic FreeBSD 
gateway / mailserver/ webserver setup for members of our 
non-profit internet access group, and in its simplest form its 
condensed the essentials of the regular thousand page manuals
to only about 7  A4 pages.
