I have just installed FreeBSD 2.0 and am extremly pleased with it.  As
an aside, I installed over the internet and it went flawlessly.  Thanks
for the FreeBSD team for an excellent product!

I am having a small problem getting FreeBSD to act as a secondary
nameserver for my domain.  If I set resolv.conf to look at the BSD box
first and try an nslookup I get the following message:

***Can't find server name for address 192.135.189.15: No response from
server

Then nslookup points to my other name server or the second name server
listed in resolv.conf.

If I reverse the nameserver entries in resolv.conf (so the bsd box is
second) and do an nslookup 'server=pics.bsd.box' then the nslookup
reports no errors?  Any help is appreciated.
