Yup - they point to the 2 DNS servers for plus.net - my ISP. The name
server isn't running on the dial-up box (it used to be and worked fine -
the link could bounce up and down and named wouldn't complain), but
anything is always appreciated ;) I can easy bung it back on the dial up
box, I was just curious. If there was a static IP for the dial-up box,
would this make any difference??
Colin, I am using masquerading instead of a proxy - I tried to get squid
set up eons ago and failed miserably :( I would like to keep bind off the
firewall / dial-up box, but maybe I should just upgrade and that would
keep the security hazards at bay.....
Would it still work if bind does not listen to the ppp0 interface? I guess
not as I had to explicitly allow DNS connections to a semi-strong firewall
Cheers guys
