Hi, i have some trouble with user PPP (dial on demand) and BIND (named) on a 2.2.1 box. I am going to run my own nameserver for a local network. Another reason is, that sendmail complains the dynamic IP-address I've got from my provider after a connect. Running the nameserver helps a lot, sendmail now gets a hostname for the IP address without redialing to the provider. In my host.conf file i have: hosts bind My resolv.conf looks like: nameserver my_ip_address nameserver my_providers_ip_address When booting, the system 'hangs' for a long time after the network devices have been configured. It not really hangs, it tries to resolv the addresses of the static routes. (route thor.wnet localhost etc.) I thought that it should use the hosts file instead, because named is not running at that early time. The only way to bring it to normal behavior is to comment out my own nameserver from resolv.conf. What is wrong ?
