I've been using the AnnexXL with NetBSD system for dialup fine up til now.
Just now I tried to assign names to all the dialup IPs ie.:

        dial001.future.net 204.130.134.101

and users can't dialup and connect anymore.  NetBSD complains:

Apr  5 21:51:58 dream /netbsd: arpresolve: can't allocate llinfo
Apr  5 21:52:11 dream last message repeated 13 times

Why?  this was added to /etc/namedb/forward and /etc/namedb/reverse 
appropriately.

forward has for example:
...
dial001         IN A 204.130.134.101
...

reverse has:
...
101     IN PTR dial001.future.net.
...



every thing seems fine.  without the names, the IPs alone works fine 
when not defined in /etc/namedb/*
