I am running FreeBSD 2.2.7R with PPPD IPFW NATD NAMED and SENDMAIL to
act as a router between an unregistered intranet and my ISP using
dial-on-demand.

I have been running it since early '98 (originally using 2.2.5R with
user PPP and *no* sendmail) with considerable success. Recent changes
are the migration from user PPP to PPPD a couple of weeks ago, for no
good reason that I can see :) and enabling sendmail yesterday.

Prior to yesterday incoming SMTP mail was delivered directly to our
internal mail hub using the -redirect_port option of natd, since I now
have two internal mail hubs, I am using sendmail (8.8.8/8.8.8) with it's
mailertable.

I have two questions:

1) Since yesterday, I have started to notice the above message from
natd. Is it benign and simply reflecting the increased DNS traffic over
the link due to sendmail? Or is there a problem?

2) Is sendmail supposed to convert mailertable -> mailertable.db itself,
because I ended up having to do it manually. Perhaps it's a version
thing???

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,
Richard.
