I did this for a while, and I chose to use pdnsd (Proxy DNS Daemon). Instead of handing out the IPs of the DNS servers for my ISP to each of my hosts, I simply handed them my IP (the gateway). Then, I ran pdnsd on the gateway. That worked really well. pdnsd is cool cause it can read your /etc/hosts file and serve up DNS names that way. It can also simply act as a relay of sorts. You might consider it. --Dave ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://phantom.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
