OK, since running local DNS instance is a neat idea, I will try to draft the modifications for the dhclient-exit-hooks, as I described in the previous mail. Just now I see no other way to implement it, because dhclient is asynchronious in the general case, so I can not teach /etc/rc.d/dhclient to do the job. So I expect that /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks will be born and it will build 'forwarders' file for the named, if this will be requested by /etc/rc.conf. I still not sure how to modify named.conf: automatically or let the user make the needed modifications. I am inclined to the latter, but this can pose some troubles to the users that are not very familiar with named.conf. Any thoughts? If you have other ideas how it can be done, please share.
