I am using DHCP to configure my network interfaces
(dhclient). When it receives the setup info from the DHCP
server, it also updates /etc/resolv.conf with a list of
nameservers.  

I have named configured as a forwarding-only nameserver,
and want it to use the DNS hosts listed in resolv.conf.
Will named pick this up from the file, or do these servers
have to be configured in the named config files? Does named
use resolv.conf in any way?

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.8-STABLE, and the version of named
that comes with it.

I am not subscribed to freebsd-questions, so please be sure
to copy any replies to this email address.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
