I did check with Linksys and my router does /not/ have DNS capabilities
of any kine (except forwarding). I am behind a NAT, which may explain
why the forwarding is not working correctly. I can not allow Linux to
take over DNS for the network because it is not always on. What I
decided I need to do is set up BIND to work for my penguin (Linux
machine ;-) ), only. The router is /not/ setup with a domain name (or
hostname). How can I setup BIND to extract internal network IPs from the
router's DHCP and forward all Internet requests to the WAN side of the
router?

The Linksys will login to the SBC network, get it's DHCP IP from SBC, and the
related DHCP information, which in this case includes the SBC DNS servers.

For both my RH9 and my SuSE boxes, I have no issue at all.
Now, to answer your question directly, you can not set up an internal BIND
server to extract information from the Linksys router, as the Linksys router
does not run a BIND server.
If the Linksys router <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span
>does<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> indeed run a BIND server, you must tell the
list
what Linksys router you have. That way someone may be able to look at the
Linksys docs and give a definitive answer.</pre>
