Hi folks...
Thanks to Dan & Randy for their replies to "Help startingDNS".
I have got problems! - ain't we all ;^)
I am sorry...I am a bit of a dummy but I'm trying!

Problems are as follows:
	a) When Routed runs stuff like PINE Telnet etc wont run! Appears to  
	be looking at the modem's semi-permanent connection!??
	b) When routed option is set to NO Pine LYNX etc all work fine but
	mail being delivered can't arrive.
	Says that "554 <bsd@smmc.qld.edu.au> local congiguration error exists. 
	554 MX entry smmc.qld.edu.au. points back to smmcroute.smmc.qld.edu.au"
	
What I have done(brief):
	I copied my old servers /etc/named to new machine...no worky on 
	new set up!  Old = FreeBSD 2.1.5,  new =FreeBSD 2.2.2

Can you help? More details are below...Thanks for that kind peoples.

    **********************************************************

What I'm trying to do:	
	...Set up a V 2.2.2 server for my LAN on a brand new drive on the SAME
	machine as I currently have a V 2.1.5 server working (but some small 
	hassles e.g. squid and sometimes named hang up) The hardware 
	works fine , no conflicts, drivers etc work OK.

What I want to happen:
	...For this machine to be a web/mail etc server with a DNS proxy 
	router/gateway etc for my school's LAN - just 
	like it currently is on the other hard drive (I swap the drives over 
	while I'm doing all this...I have also saved /etc/ppp /etc/namedb 
	sysconfig to a floppy from old system for convenience)

What I did:
	a) Copied the ppp file (although I changed it to use iijppp with 
	/dev/cuaa1 and not /dev/modem)
	b) Copied /etc/namedb to new system (no IPs will be different)
	c) did the standard stuff...
		1) created /etc/start_if.tun0
		2) changed rc.conf to reflect sysconfig of old system
			(p.s. it is attached below)
		3) put PINE LYNX etc but not webserver yet on it 
		4) Put MGETTY on it but not yet configured 
			(for later dialin use)	


What it does:
	a) dials out ok and connects
	b) fails to autostart named with or without routed set to start 
	c) with routed & named...Local software hangs...Pine lynx etc.
	appears to blip the modem regularly!...perhaps waiting...why 
	would PINE seek to do that?
	d) with routed not started but named started, mail won't arrive 
	correctly from outside...sendmail interrupts & says the 554 error 
	as described above.

What I might do:
	a) GIVE UP...but I don't want to I must be close!

                 MY RC.CONF file follows....

# This is rc.conf - a file full of useful variables that you can set 
# to change the default startup behavior of your system.
#
# All arguments must be in double or single quotes.
