[PLUG] Named and PPP


I have brought up a different system here - SuSe 7.3 with bind 8. I have
two ethernet interfaces and I connect to the internet via dialup PPP. I do
my own nameserving and lookup. 

It seems that on bootup named starts first, establishes the IP addresses
it listens on - which are the localhost and addresses of the two ethernet
cards, then PPP dials and connects establishing the internet connection.

Since Bind starts first it will not answer queries. If I restart Bind -
ndc stop, nds start - all is fine. The log shows it now listens on the PPP
IP address.

I never saw this on my prior linux with bind 4 and PPP. 

Is ther something I am missing here? I have tried the listen-on option in
named.conf but it only seems to add IP addresses it knows about.

Any ideas?

Doug
