Yes, port 53 seems to be "Domain," as far as I can tell. I'll fiddle with
that. Do you really suppose the problem is with my router, since the macs on
the network get their DNS just fine I figured I had erred at the Linux Box.

I agree that ideally my Linux would be my router. Unfortunately, I currently
need to keep the existing mac address as the router, and that machine needs
to run Mac OS for my current tasks...
Cheap is a relative term, and to the unemployed, the bar is set pretty low.
I promise the next time I set up this network, all server tasks to be done
by Linux
