It sounds like you are talking about a small network behind a firewall that is also doing NAT. A very easy way of doing this is to use the dnsmasq package. This is really easy to set up. It is purpose-built for a small network where bind would be WAY overkill. I think it is really cool. It was very easy to setup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
