I have O'Reilly "DNS & Bind". So if the answer is in there, please provide a pointer to the section or capability. Without understanding the difference or interactions between named, bind, resolver, and NIS I may have read right through it an not realized it... (not running NIS), intermitent ISP connection with dynamic address....
