I'm trying to configure my FreeBSD box as a gateway to an ISP but I don't want to depend on that ppp link for mail and news. I already have a fast uucp link with another provider. In other words I need to be able to use my LAN, resolving my internal names as usual, forwarding all my mail through my uucp link and sometime be able to surf the Internet resolving names outside my domain. The iijppp link is set up properly and filtering is done such as DNS packets don't make the daemon dial. What is difficult to me is how to configure named. The root.cache file points to three DNS hosts on the provider domain. If I start named without the -r option all my mail gets queued forever and some services become slow (very slow), but all works well when the ppp link with my ISP is up. If I start named with the -r option my LAN works well but I'm unable to resolve any host name outside my domain also if the ppp link is up. Then, how can I make my LAN and my Internet link live together? Thanks in advance.
