Not slower to run a caching server, slower to just forward the lookup requests. I don't run a caching server..I just had the NAT box forwarding the connection. Although it wasn't too bad on DSL, DNS took a bit to long when our line got busy with stuff (like 128k mp3 streams ;) ). -Adam -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Greg MATTHEWS Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2001 5:48 AM To: Adam Crosby Cc: Greg MATTHEWS; freebsd-questions Subject: Re: dns lookup with ppp -nat yes i am considering this altho the dns servers are often different between logins. i guess i can lock my configs down to one or two of my isp dns servers but then i'm at their mercy if they decide to change things around. my other thought was to set up a caching server at home but that is slower you say?
