Newbie, so take what I offer with a grain of salt...
I am using IPNetRouter and had very similar issues. I finally got them
straightened out, but my troubleshooting was a little non-linear, so I can't
say which variable was the critical one.
On the Linux end I created /etc/rc.conf as:
Hostname="localhost"
Domainname=""
Defaultroute="192.168.111.1" (Router Address)
And added the line:
lookup file bind
To the end of /etc/resolv.conf
Somewhere I read there was a difference between
"lookup bind file" and
"lookup file bind", search me.
Things were running, and I deleted that line (lookup file bind), as well as
rc.conf, and it still works.
My /etc/resolv.conf is now:
search 192.168.111.1
nameserver 192.168.111.1
With IPNetRouter, I opened up port 53 as domain, don't know what that'll
look like on the airport.
Hope any of this helps.
