Well thats one of doing it; a way I hacked when I first setup diald. But a
_much_ better way is to have a local server which doesn't send out packets
unless you want it to.
All you need to do is put "forwarders { XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; };" (your ISPs
DNS) and "forward only;" as two lines in the "options {...};" section of
the named.conf file.
But to prevent your server from doing reverse lookups on local IP
addresses, you need to add reverse lookup zones for your local subnet. If
you look at the "*local*" files in "/var/named" it should give you an idea.
But read the bind documentation, and maybe the DNS-HOWTO.
