	My DNS box has my only "real" IP, 216.231.43.140.  I can
	ssh *into* sage/ns1 from my laptops at once; but sshing 
	(*out*) takes at least 2 minutes.  This is a major mystery
	except that in dhcpd.conf I have most of my private 
	servers 'hardwired';  the one that is not listed is not
	reachable.

	Hmmm. Is this the attempt? (10.249) is the laptop.  

Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.249 to 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: Dynamic and static leases present for 10.0.0.249.
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: Remove host declaration zen or remove 10.0.0.249
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: from the dynamic address pool for 10.0/8
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.249 (10.0.0.1) from 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  8 21:10:45 sage dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.0.249 to 00:10:a4:06:cb:39 via dc1
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: Dynamic and static leases present for 10.0.0.247.
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: Remove host declaration tao or remove 10.0.0.247
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: from the dynamic address pool for 10.0/8
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.247 from 00:d0:b7:f0:de:ea via dc1
Nov  9 00:10:12 sage dhcpd: DHCPACK on 10.0.0.247 to 00:d0:b7:f0:de:ea via dc1

	(Again, sshing from 10.249 to 10.1 is immediate; sshing from 10.1 out
	to, say, 10.247 takes a couple minutes...)  Also, if the daemon is issuing
	a lease, why can't I ping from the laptop? or any other server?

	You may be right, altho www.dnsreport.com doesn't see anything.
	If I get my DNS files to you, can you tell?  --I've been using
	bind-9 going on 4 years.  After kiddie scripts kept bumping bind-8
	off.  I'm using v9.3,0 and maybe somethng is misconfigured.
