I am trying to set up DNS on our FreeBsd Box (2.1.7), and have 2
questions:

(1) Our provider will only provide us with (for now) a 1/4 Class C
address block.  How do I set the lines in named.boot to reflect this,
especially IN-ADDR-ARPA?

(2)  Can anyone tell what is required to run PPP as a server on this
box, as well?   I will be installing a Cyclades Multi-port card(s) in
the box, and have the setup for the IO devices, but that is all I can
figure out so far.  Do I need psuedo devices?  How do I assign IP
addresses to each of these ports for dial-in users?  

Thanks very much in advance,

Joe Buczakowski
