OK, I've just spent over 3 hours fighting with iijppp and named on
a FreeBSD 2.0.5 system that I've been trying to configure as a net 
gateway.  Anyway, due to a lack of good documentation, I'm still not able
to get it working right.   Is there a good source of information on
configuring these things?  I'm not looking for anything extravagant,
just the ability to dial up an ISP on demand, resolve any net addresses
either from the name server's internal cache or fetch the answer from the 
nameserver at the ISP's site.
