Specifically, how do we setup a nameserver under FreeBSD and also does the secondary nameservers just get it's updates from the primary nameserver? Sorry for some non-FreeBSD specific questions but I'm sure some of you FreeBSD users would know very much about this stuff. 2) We will be providing ppp/slip on our machine... Is there anyway to start ppp/slip from the shell as the server or do we have to use something like slirp in order to do this since all the ppp/slip ip's will be routed through the FreeBSD machine. Also, would I need to set the option "GATEWAY" on in the kernel config? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for you help!
