Remick" Subject: DNS caching question Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. I have a question about DNS caching. Someone walked me through setting up our FreeBSD system ages ago to just be a caching DNS. I know it's working to SOME degree, as one can set their DNS to be our server's IP and it works... but I'm wondering a way to check it's statistics, how much it's caching, how long, how big the cache is, how many queries can be satisfied from the cache, etc. I'm pouring through the ORA book "DNS and BIND" but I haven't figured it out yet, so I was hoping for a preliminary answer :). I'd also be interested in how to adjust these settings for a caching DNS. My version is 4.9.4-P1 I think. I'm not sure because the dig (etc) command in the FAQ doesn't seem to work. I checked /usr/src/contrib/bind/Makefile and got the version from there. Please cc: any replies to my email... thanks! ----------------------- Scott I.
