Yes, debian-server is in the /etc/resolv.conf of the other machines. In fact,
it is given as the only name server.

Yes it appears to be working fine. Here is it's output.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nslookup www.bellsouth.net
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

Yes. Here is what I did (showing only relevent part):
// generated by named-bootconf.pl
options {
directory "/var/named";
forwarders {
24.31.195.64; ##I added this
24.31.195.65; ##and this
167.7.10.131;
205.152.0.20;
205.152.0.5;
};

I have since rebooted the box.

They gave me the following names for use when on their network:
pop-server, smtp-server, nntp-server. When I need to connect to the mail
server from a non-rr site, I have an FQDN. Also, I can connect to the pop
server using that.
Finally, I forgot to mention that debian-server is running dhcp for my internal
network. However, both debian-server and debian-wall have static ip's (don't
use dhcp for internal net).
TIA,
Chris
