I don't know sendmail, but I doubt it is necessary to have a running
bind to do address rewriting. This is completely unrelated.

So where does your bind gets it's info, if you didn't specify
forwarders (= hosts to ask for entries it doesn't know = your ISP's
DNS servers)? It tries to ask the root servers.
I believe you have a misconception about the thing you want to setup
and solve. What should your bind cache, and where does it get this info
from? Where did you read about this bind <-> addressrewriting
connection?
