I don't think so, since the whole point of this rule is to convert the fake
address (192.168.1.x) to an address that will work when sent to the
internet.  I haven't tried it yet, though.  The only way I know of to
handle this on a dynamically allocated IP address is to put something at
the end of a ppp-up script (like Bill Studenmund's) that will grep for the
address (out of the routing table, perhaps) and substitute it for the
0.0.0.0 above.  Possible, but I haven't had time (when I take a NetBSD box
home to install it, you can bet I'll get it figured out, one way or
t'other).

Actually, I have had trouble with this too, since NetBSD seems to be
unwilling to route things through ppp0 when it has ae0 configured as an
inet network.  The defaultroute ppp option has never worked for me in these
cases; I always ended up manually entering a

route add default [remote IP address]

to get it to route properly.

My named.boot file:

directory       /etc/namedb

cache           .                       root.cache
primary         petrarch.macstore.com   205.242.182.62 205.242.92.2

There's the one that works for me.  Make your root.cache the file you get
from ftp://ftp.rs.internic.net/pub/domain

I think it comes with a root.cache file already, you can use it, but it's
outdated in a couple of months, generally.

Hope this helps.
