(I'm back to dumb questions) Which log files should I be looking at? I looked
at /var/log/messages, and the only thing it shows is Jan 15 23:15:19
localhost -- MARK --
I looked at /var/log/syslog, but it doesn't show anything, either...
I'm wondering if there are any "leftovers" floating around my system from
some experiments I was doing dealing with firewall utilities...how would I
know what to look for?

Well, the DNS problem was only on the internel machine. The Firewall machine
doesn't have DNS problems at all...only when I enable the script. Is there a
way to disable it?
Thanks!
