DHCP Screwed up Bind settings

[Steven M. Klass]

Fair enough, I should have specified a few more things.  First it is a 
caching only nameserver for purposes of my internal lan.  That's it.  I 
figured out how to get it to stop the resolv.conf file overwrite, but now 
when I do a nslookup from any of my clients, I get Server:Unknown .  What 
is causing this??

Thanks
