yes, your assumptions are correct. "hostname" and "domain.org" ar ein
/etc/hosts. nameserver points to my isp, indeed.

i suppose it does. so, if it is so, how do i _not_ point it to my isp's
dns server? or is that even possible?

yes. and i am sure that none of the other boxes are requesting anything
from the FreeBSD box. (i.e. none of the other 2 machines are even
online/up).

i'm not sure myself but it's what is stated in the handbook/tutorial
chapter on firewall.
