Ok, I think this might be tied to my BIND issues, but when I try to download (or really doing anything outgoing) I get the following errors:
[Hostname:~/Desktop] me% curl -O ftp://members.aol.com/AFP548dotcom/Exim
Installer.sit
curl: (6) Couldn’t resolve host ‘members.aol.com’I think this maybe a small problem created by a bigger problem that my NAMED and BIND are not functioning properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Well, I’m trying to get my NS working correctly. The incoming works, but now outgoing. Is it possible to use your own nameserver for outgoing requests, and not use your ISPs? If so, how would I do that?
Is there any way to set the DNS settings from the terminal? I don’t have physical access to the machine. Only SSH.

You’d need to set yourself up to receive zone updates from another DNS out there, which takes a fair amount of space as well as time. Unless there is a compelling reason to do this, I wouldn’t.

sudo emacs /etc/resolv.conf SystemStarter restart NetworkShould do the trick. Feel free to substitute your preferred command line editor for ’emacs,’ if you’re not one of the enlightened :).
