Continuing the saga of building a wireless access point, what is the
best way to provide DNS service to the dowstream network? Seems like
all I need is a simple pass-through. For that named seems like
overkill. Anyone have an /etc/named/named.conf that does that?

Depends on how your internal LAN is configured. Generally if there are
no internal servers then you can forgo deploying a DNS server. Simply
setup your firewall IPFW or pf or whatever you are using to allow
clients to go out to the net and look names up. You will likely need a
dhcp server though so that your wireless clients can auto-discover the
appropriate network settings, but you can elect to do that manually as
well if it's your desire.
