  No with the -d option and sending it a couple of SIGUSR1's it gets a
little talkative.

  I have not done this.  I am not worried about the _database_ though.
Everything works fine _locally_.  It is connecting _only_ when
connecting to the alias ip address (and only with bind.  Although I
suppose that I would not really notice.  About all I am running on the
machine in bind, sendmail and sshd... :)

  Yeah... I was working remotely and I did not build the kernel with
tracing (pretty dumb, huh?).  I did not want to do that from far
away....

  It worked before a reboot.  after a reboot it did not.  I _did_ build
a kernel that turned off probed for ie0 and a couple of other ethernet
devices.  Maybe this is the problem?  Do those kernel's get copied into
place on reboot?  I did not get to check before I had to get out of there.
