I will try. ... YES! That works. Now, here's another wrinkle .. at the
moment, primary local DNS is Win2K (don't ask). I will just make this
machine secondary (I just edit that into named.conf, and change "primary" to
"secondary", rihgt?), and then have the mail server /etc/resolv.conf point
to itself first, and then the Win2K DNS (I'm not sure if that trick will
work on a Win2K box).

Thanks, Gabe
