I'm not sure where this should go, I'm sure if this group isn't right
someone will let me know! :-)

Couple of things on named:
1. The file /etc/namedb/make-localhost is a script but is not installed
with the execute bit set, pretty minor but figured I'd bring it up since it
seems install could do that.

2. I had to buy books to find out about the "caching-only" named setup.
This setup is extremely useful for users who run small networks and connect
via ppp to ISPs. It's really great to have my mail on my gateway host
except up until I figured that [named] out I still had to wait while my WS
did a DNS lookup for the host. With this setup the named has most of the
hosts I go to in cache and is much faster. I'd be willing to write the
setup up but don't know where it would be submitted? The setup files are so
generic they could even become sample files in /etc/namedb...
