Make sure you've edited /etc/resolv.conf to tell the resolver routines that your localhost is also your nameserver. I run bind (named) on my router, I have it configure as a caching-only nameserver. One problem that I ran into is that whenever I would restart my networking services my DSL providers DHCP server would re-write /etc/resolv.conf and exclude my localhost from the equation. So, if your external IP is configured via DHCP, edit your DHCP client configuration files to exclude DNS configuration. Stef
