I wonder if userland ppp's nat option is broken or if I missed something new.
First of all: My humble apologies to everybody for setting you on the wrong track. Indeed -nat works all-right. My problems were caused by recent changes of named and BIND.
Big thanks for all hints which helped me to analyze this. For details look further down.


I am using my freebsd (5.3-STABLE) machine as internet gateway. Everything works all-right from the gateway itself. From my workstations I can ping any IP in the internet, but domain names won't be resolved ("unknown host").

These are my rc.conf lines:

kern_securelevel_enable="NO"
inetd_enable="YES"
gateway_enable="YES"
named_enable="YES"
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ppp_nat="YES"
ppp_profile="my-profile"
This configuration starts named as a local nameserver. I never had to do anything else. This stopped working "out of the box" some time ago. From /usr/src/UPDATING (20040928, 20040925) I learn that named and BIND have changed. I did the respective changes and edited two entries in /var/named/etc/named/named.conf
1) I commented
listen-on {127.0.0.1;};
2) I put my two nameserver IPs (from /etc/resolv.conf) into
forwarders {
195.62.99.42;
195.62.97.177;
};


After restarting named everything worked as before: my clients accept my gateway's IP as gateway *and* nameserver.


Thanks and regards,

Uli.
