Yes I run named locally. Changed it there, resolv.conf and named.conf.
For whatever reason, I have all three nameservers in all lists (with
my local nameserver first), including DHCP. The idea being that if my
local nameserver dies clients can still get out of the network to the
greater unwashed internet.

(Thinks) Hmmm. I hard-coded the wireless access point to an IP for a
specific reason (it is acting as a bridge). I wonder if I also
hard-coded all nameservers, or just my own? Thanks for the reminder.
Everything else should be DHCP.
