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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
