ok i'm going to have another crack at this when i get home tonight. i'll try as many approaches as i can (best way to learn i guess!). i reckon i can figure out how to set up a caching server from the docs but i havent seen mention of redirecting dns requests. is this done in resolv.conf? if i cant get either of these to work i'll just hard code some dns addresses into the setup... or bug you some more! dont have a dsl just a lowly 56k which i have sneaking suspicion my isp (worldonline) is bandwidth-limiting. must get a pkg to monitor bit rate. thanks for you help GREG > Not slower to run a caching server, slower to just forward the lookup > requests.
