autodns-dhcp is a package available to automatically update your dns
settings with information regarding any dhcp leases.

I have tried this, but it still doesn't work .. my resolv.conf file looks
like this:
orinoco:/etc# cat resolv.conf
domain wimbledon
search wimbledon
nameserver 192.168.0.1
options attempt:5
I get a lot of messages like these in my logs:

I assume this means that my local DNS is trying to resolve hostname
"orinoco" .. although I have it set in my hosts file as well...

These lines make me think that bind is trying to update it's records ... is
that the case?
If so is there any way of forcing bind *not* to update, but only when I do
it manually?
This is driving me nuts :-) .. I am getting a lot of unwanted dial-outs, and
over here we get to pay by the second for all time online!
Cheers,
Pete.
