That looks right.  But I'm not sure.  I've been using bind (named) from
when it was defined/implemented.  (I still remember HOSTS.TXT on MILNET
(shudder!).)  I have no idea how to configure M$ Windoze boxes in a
non-bind environment.

When you have time, I would suggest you get the O'Reilly book (Cricket)
and learn about DNS.  It's a basic skill that anyone who will manage a
UNIX system needs to be proficient.  You'll need DNS as soon as you
have another FreeBSD box (managing duplicate /etc/hosts files is error
prone) or connect your network to the Internet.
