Hi, I forgot to put in my last article posting that 
somehow the routed timeout has vanished 
since I got the DNS working in its half-hearted
manner.  I put in larger longevity settings for 
each DNS local address, and may also have changed
the launch parameters for routed and others that were 
in the /etc/sysconfig system setup file.  So far, the
machine can be on for several hours and still not
timeout!  It's great, but I can't remember specifically
what I changed because I poked around with everything
to try to get it all to go!

Good luck with your install.  Regards, Chris K. Skinner.
