I installed BIND on my OS/X (10.4) box.
Things seem to be working fine, but I'm having a problem with creating
zone files. Basically, to the outside world my domain should resolve

2 months ago, I returned my telesat high speed satellite dish and had to
go with dialup before going with Hughesnet (which is excellent, btw).
