I'm running local dns-caches on most servers and of course on my gateway-machine. It's very easy to do this with djbdns. Just install the daemontools, then djbdns and configure your machine as a local cache (if it's standalone) or an external cache (if you serve a network). Instructions are on the webpage http://cr.yp.to Beleave me, it's as simple as installing something from ports and kills all your dns-Problems. You don't need to bother with bind and named.conf, etc. -volker To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
