Would I find details on how to set up a re-director in the squid docs? Also 
does bind automatically use resolv.conf or does it have to be set to look 
there? Below is a copy of my resolv.conf, I'm guessing that this is set by 
kppp automatically with each connection, in which case this should be ok for 
bind to use?

domain localdomain              #kppp temp entry
# search localdomain    #entry disabled by kppp


# ppp temp entry
nameserver 203.134.24.70 # ppp temp entry
nameserver 203.134.26.70 # ppp temp entry
nameserver 203.134.24.70        #kppp temp entry
nameserver 203.134.26.70        #kppp temp entry

Thanks.
