That should take care of lookup for local names, but keeping out-of-net
traffic from bringing up the link requires mucking with sendmail's
configuration.

I think I saw this error once, a good while ago. Probably a missing or
incorrect reverse mapping?

Loads: Debian 2.0 installs about a MB of stuff in /usr/doc/bind, most of
it gzipped; and then there are the man pages themselves. I haven't done
more than some minimal hacks to convert a workling 4.x config to run with
the new 8.x bind, but IIRC the messiest parts are either unchanged or have
specific support for backwards compatability: the actual IP <-> hostname
tables required negligible if any changes. The top-level config file has
a new syntax, but that's purely an improvement IMO. So named.boot and
named.options had to be rewritten, but that's the easy part. My
SOA.sub.domain and BY-IP.xxx.yyy files are (nearly?) unchanged from 4.x.
Luck!
