I think it is not sendmail because I have previously disabled it. I got a server running Slackware Linux (same version of bind) with sendmail installed and also have a link on demand and I do not have this problem. It is becoming hard to trace it, and I guess it might be an option of named itself that is looking to resolve that "sticky" route.
Just one other question, since I am new at FreeBSD, I installed the squid cache (and also qmail), and I see there is a squid.sh script that is ran by rc.d at boot, but it does not really initiate squid nor qmail. I made an rc.local file that started those services. WHere do I enable them? Do I have to put some kind of squid_enable="YES" in rc.conf? Same thing goes for qmail? The qmail/squid.sh have a option start/stop, but where do I start them in the boot scripts?
