i am not quite sure how it works in fedora. there is no need to run named to resolve dns. couple of reachable dns server ips in the resolv.conf are all that is required. however if you require dns caching try dnsmasq instead of bind. it is very simple to configure very lightweight when compared to bind. did you check whether your resolv.conf is getting modified once you establish a connection ? if it is not you can specify the dns server ips there till you find a more elegant solution. which is the dialup connection you are using ? regards bobby
