Hi. I have three networking querstions for NetBSD 0.9:

1)  How can I tell it to use the named-server on a nother machine
(I can't seem to configure my named right)

2) How do I get it to route from the local network (ethernet) which
it can talk to fine, to the outside world via slip (which it already
does fine). All the local machines know that they should route through
it, I just can't figure out how to tell it to pass things on.

3) Everyonce in a while, I get "/dev/com1: silo overflow" messages.
They do not appear (in small chunks) to affect anything.
But get yoo many of them at once, and ver soo all network
(or maybe just all slip-related) tasks fail with "no buffer space available"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
