named/bind problems....

[Gary Kline]

	HEy:: I quit out of portupgrade when it tried to pull over 200MB 
	of stuff, did a pkgdb -Fv; then found the the new xdm actually works!

	So I am back with two or more xterms/Konsoles and able to type for
	legibally.   Dunno what happened but aint asking no questions....

	At least now I will be able to use my 4-port KVM switch to mv back and
	forth from here on ethic [Server] to tao [Desktop], and have fewer
	troubles.

	i am actually serving my own DNS for 209.180.213.209-//213.  No
	ethic, my doomain disappeares from the world.  

	Note that friends say that I am a bit nuts to do this myself; they
	thingk I should just pay somebody to host my sites.  There is
	www, jottings, journey, transfinite, the site that hosts my library
	writing group, and the site that hosts my friends busuiness site.

	Somehow, with "^nameserver 8.8.8.8" added to my /etc/resolv.conf got
	even my firfox webserver working on "tao".  Not now.

	Now that you know that I acutally have ns1.thought.org [[
	==ethic.thought.org ]]; that is serves my DNS, what next?  I admit to
	only having glanced at the new bind97.  At 01:30 I was helping my
	daughter with an English paper.
