I have my named daemon running pretty much the way I want it. 
http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp30.html in order to set this up.

My first attempts at implementing name resolution for hosts on the subnet 
failed.  So I bought the book "TCP/IP Network Administration" by Craig 
Hunt.  After about 3 or 4 hours of trial and error, I figured it out.  It 
now works.

I'd like to find out more about the differences been the book and the 
webpage as far as their examples are concerned.  From an initial look, it 
appears as if the information contained in the webpage example is actually 
distributed across more files within the book example.  Can anyone comment 
upon this first impression?

Specifically, the book example contains nothing like this from the webpage:

     curly.my.domain.        IN A    192.168.1.1     # The FreeBSD box
     larry.my.domain.        IN A    192.168.1.2     # The Win'95 box

BTW: I believe that the example given for mydomain.db contains an error.  
The comments should be prefixed with ; not # as shown on the line for 
shemp.mydomain and the previous three lines.  Is that correct?
