You can setup BIND on the gateway, and use the forwarders option in named.conf so that it forwards queries for non-local addresses to the ISP name servers. Then just point the internal boxes at the gateway. If you do not have a registered domain name, then I reccommend you use a totally bogus one. Otherwise, you might be in for some interesting times. If you have any more questions, contact me privately, and I will share my named.conf file with you. HTH, -- Victor R.
