I get my IP by DHCP.

You see, I don't like the IP they give me so I have to go through this big
long process of:

ifconfig ae0 inet 24.237.1.238 netmask 255.255.248.0 broadcast 24.237.7.255
ifconfig ae0 alias 24.237.6.172 netmask 255.255.248.0 broadcast 24.237.7.255

1.238 being the IP I want and 6.172 being the IP they gave me.

After pinging 24.237.0.1 (inetgw.anchorage.ak) it picks up that the IP I
want is 1.238.

I've done this in the past and don't remember having to kill and run named.

I plugged my BSD server and Mac into a hub, then a switch to monitor the
BSD server.

Using EtherPeek I found out that there were requests sent to my computer
for www.stockly.com, and my computer sent replies, but the remote computer
"didn't care".

Once I killed named and ran it, all the computers trying to reach it all of
a sudden "cared".

Anyone?
