Hello,

I've just installed BIND 4.9.4P1 on a FreeBSD 2.1.0 server.  This was
in response to a problem with the Squid proxy caching server continuously
complaining about not finding DNS names.  This happens -- 'masipag' is
the FreeBSD server.  Note that the authority records are the root name
servers, and not the actual servers for the domain.
