If you are just looking to be able to resolve DNS internally, you can very easily setup your FBSD box to be a forwarding DNS server, and point all your other machines at it for DNS resolution. There are many howtos covering this subject. Casey > I am running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE behind a Linksys Wireless Access > Point and Firewall and a DSL modem.
