Just enabling named solved the problem. I only added two or three "named_..." entries from /etc/default/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf, changing "NO" for "YES" and nothing else. Even without modifying de default config files (named.conf and any other, eventually) the FreeBSD gateway began to forward name-requests without problems. But I'm almost sure that none of the documents I read said it was necessary to enable named in the gateway in order to resolve names. Maybe this should be added o I should recheck. Thank you very much. Your help was in fact extremely useful to me. I also prefer sometimes to perform a few tasks with my personals scripts and avoid the default programs doing them. As I review what I wrote it seems that I know what exactly the program does! Thanks again. -- José Albores - <josealbores@yahoo.com> --- chael@southgate.ph.inter.net escribió: > 1.
