Thanks for the reply, Steve.  I looked at the setup for djbdns, and although 
it looks simpler than bind9, I still found several points of difference in 
various tutorials, based on the initial set up and installation.  It appears 
to be rock solid, but I'm not game for learning another dns system from 
scratch.  dnsmasq, though not as powerful, is an extremely simple system to 
install and configure and should meet my needs.

Again, thanks for the reply...
