Dear Sir/Madam

I am trying to configure a FreeBSD system as our local mail and Internet
server.Our connection to the Net is through an ISP, to whom we have a
modem connection. How do I configure my name server to pass on all
requests to my ISP ? I have tried adding a "forwarders" line to
named.boot, but it still doesn't seem to be working. I have also
discovered that my inetd.conf file doesn't contain an entry for named.
Could that be a problem ? Also, is there a way of changing my default DNS
to point to my ISP ?
