Doing without network

Hi,
   I am new to Tru64 management. I am running a DS10 with Tru64 4.0F

   I have two problems I hope I can receive some hints about. Both are
related to performance when the network (Ethernet LAN connected to IP
via router) is missing or broken.
   I wish my machine can be booted and used locally even when the
Ethernet cable is disconnected. How can I obtain that?

1) If the Ethernet cable is disconnected, booting the machine produces
extremely long delays. Similar problems are encountered if the cable is
connected, but the configured nameserver is not reachable.
   Once the system is up, long delays are still met during a consolle
login, while starting the graphical interface. In this case, if the
network is connected, network accesses (telnet) can be done at full
speed.

2) Bind configuration. I configured the machine as a DNS server. The
configuration interface requires defining one or more external
nameservers. On the contrary, I wish the server not to depend on any
defined nameserver, except the root nameservers defined in named.ca
   At present, the system is configured not to act as a primery or
secondary nameserver for any zone.

   Can anybody give hints on these problems? Are my expectations
reasonable? If so, how can I get them working?
