IE, the machines providing generic resolver capability answer on a "network visible" address, and they address queries to the local DNS server running on, say, the loopback address. I have the appropriate named.conf.master and named.conf.resolver files working. Does anybody have a clean way to start these during the boot process, or do I simply start one of them (probably the external resolver process) from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ ?
