You are correct "dialup yes" in your named.conf is not going to help as you are only runnlng a caching server, so you won't need to do zone transfers. I'm thinking your named is trying to sort some things out when it starts, hence the hang. Do you have anything in /etc/hosts or /etc/resolv.conf? BB (before broadband) I used to run a similar configuration but I always defined an internal zone for my network and never experienced this type of hang. Other than that, my config was always straight forward. (i.e. set up my internal zone, forward all other requests to my ISP) Trevor Cornpropst To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
