I'm real new here, and a couple of things are giving me some trouble.
I am in the process of setting up FreeBSD on a 486, here is some 
networking info that I have. (the IP's have been changed to protect the 
inocent  :-)

Machine name:   parker
Domain: 	artbbs.com
Full name:	parker.artbbs.com

My assigned IP address: 206.45.14.1
My ISP's Gateway IP:	206.45.13.1
My ISP's DNS IP:	206.45.13.2

I want to run _named_ on parker.  i.e primary DNS would be 206.45.14.1
				and secondary DNS would be 206.45.13.2
I want incoming e-mail to be addressed as user@artbbs.com
I want pine to put the from address as user@artbbs.com

I'm having some difficulty getting sysconfig, named.boot, named.zone, 
pine.conf.fixed, and probably a few other networking files set up 
correctly.  named.zone is especially confusing.  If anyone can provide me 
with some good examples I would greatly appreciate it.
