Erm... 'usepeerdns' and stuff... Another thought to throw into the fray.. What was that package that asks you for your local & external interfaces, then goes and ballses up a default firewall for you? ... Maybe some integration there could be fun. How many people wanting to run bind need it listening on their ppp0 interface, which comes & goes merrily with dialups, rather than their eth0s and let the outgoing forwarded requests get masqueraded?
