    Hello,
        I know that I've asked this in the past, but after a fresh reinstall of the machine on my local network that provided (amongst other services) DNS to all other machines (FreeBSD, Solaris, WIn2K & WinXP Pro), I find that I am not having much success setting up BIND in a sandbox.

    The box is running FreeBSD-4.9Stable (after initially installing 4.8-Rel) after cvsup of sources.

    Basically, the errors I get on start up is here:
    /etc/namedb/etc # tail /var/log/messages

    syslogd_flags="-ss -l /etc/namedb/dev/log"
    named_enable="YES"
    named_flags="-u bind -g bind -t /etc/namedb /etc/named.conf"
    stacey@Demon /etc/namedb $

    Here's what I've got in resolv.conf:
    root@Demon /etc/namedb # cat /etc/resolv.conf
    domain vickiandstacey.com
    nameserver 127.0.0.1
    nameserver 192.168.1.8
    root@Demon /etc/namedb #

    An example of my problem follows:
    root@Demon /etc/namedb # nslookup
    Default Server: localhost.vickiandstacey.com
    Address: 127.0.0.1
     
    > server Demon.vickiandstacey.com
    Default Server: Demon.vickiandstacey.com
    Address: 82.68.31.177
     
    >

    What I had prior to installing, I would get "Demon.vickiandstacey.com" returned as the Default Server, not localhost as above.

    Secondly, the address 82.68.31.177 is the real IP address of Demon (I have a block of 8) that is translated to 192.168.1.8, the internal IP address of Demon. So I'd have hoped that trying to set server to Demon, would have resulted in "Address: 192.168.1.8" instead of the machine's real IP address.

    I'd gladly provide more information here if anyone thinks it would assist in helping me here. Thanks for the time.

    Regards,

    Stacey
