Mostly, I'm using the "stock" config files, with my internal address put into the /etc/maradns directory and the mararc file pointing the correct file. Like I said, looking up the internal addresses is working just fine, even for the CNAME records. I've tried Googling and even reading several MaraDNS documents, so far without any success.
