Actually there was another point of confusion in that Sunday working with /etc/ipfw.rules I remembr sseeing the same named errs in /var/log/messages. --Yes, both my /etc/ipf.rules and ipfw.rules were similar; or as similar as I could make them. Before I changed ISP's and my namedb configuration, things worked flawlessly. No err output anyway. It was Stacey Roberts' idea that there was rouble in my BIND setup that made the lightbulb snap on over my head. I knew that I was breaking some of the 1918 rules; I just ddn't realize that it would cause *this* much trouble. ... . > > > Looking at this, it seems like BIND attemts to start up, can not listen > on a socket, then dies.
