The answer is NO. See www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd if you're looking for info on NAT, which is what I think will help you. #> #>2) The name server is not seems to be working either, as all the named.boot, named.root, localhost.rev, named.conf is up. #> Do you see 'named' started when the system starts? Do you have NAMED_ENABLE="YES" in your rc.conf? Suppose itis running, login as root and exec named.reload then tail the messages log and tell us what it says?
