If you're firewalling that out you won't be able to look up names. If you want to forward DNS lookups with BIND, set the "forwarders" option in the configuration file. If you're not running a nameserver then you can specify name servers in /etc/resolv.conf with "nameserver n.n.n.n". -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
