Changing named forwarders on ppp startup?
When I dial up my ISP, the ppp scripts modify the /etc/resolv.conf
file so that it lists the two nameservers that the ISP says to use.
The latter nameservers appear second and third in the list, the first
being 127.0.0.1, which is taken from /etc/ppp/resolv/my-ISP. Thus
the first nameserver to be consulted is on the local machine, and
accordingly I run named.
What I would like to know is how I can set up named so that it uses
the two ISP-provided namservers as forwarders. Is there a standard
way of doing this? If so, what is it? If not, should the ppp
scripts be enhanced to do it automagically?
