I'm a current dialup user, changing to DSL imminently. I also have a LAN Masqueraded behing that connection and plan to continue that. My (new) DSL provider tells me I need to use DHCP to obtain my IP address, etc. No problem there, I remember that Debian has DHCP-related packages listed in dselect. Now comes the problem. There are too many packages to know where to start. Could you provide a brief explanation (beyond that in dselect) of which packages are intended for what purposes? There seem to be a number of pacakges which apparently do the same thing, and there's no way for me to know which to use and why. BTW, if it matters, I run BIND on a machine *behind* the gateway, for 192.168.* addresses. I have on intention of moving this to the gateway, or anything else of course, for security reasons. But if there is any information I'll need as a result of this, please advise me.
