Hi Barry,

Thanks for the pointers. I've got things working for the local network, 
but for some reason the server won't recurse out. I wonder if you could 
have a quick glance through my named.conf to see if you can spot any 
glaring errors?

acl clients {
         10.0.0.0/24;
         "localhost";
};
options {
         version "";
         allow-transfer { none; };
         listen-on    { clients; };
};
logging {
         category lame-servers { null; };
};
zone "." {
         type hint;
         file "standard/root.hint";
};
zone "localhost" {
         type master;
         file "standard/localhost";
         allow-update { none; };
};
zone "127.in-addr.arpa" {
         type master;
         file "standard/loopback";
         allow-update { none; };
};
zone "artyzan.net" {
         type master;
         file "master/artyzan.net";
};
zone "0.0.10.in-addr.arpa" {
         type master;
         file "master/0.0.10.rev";
};
