   Simple question that I can't seem to find an answer to.

 If I'm running named, should I have a resolv.conf file?
 I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't have resolv.conf if you
 are running named.

 On 2.1.7.1 running PPP, if I remove resolv.conf and startup the machine,
 the boot sequence hangs when starting sendmail ( sometimes ), I hit control
 c and continue with the boot, but networking is a bit messed up.
