One thing to keep in mind tho, is if your ISP's name server is really slow you'll see a speed increase. On the other hand, if the ISP's name server is fast, you'll probably hurt yourself. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Bhishan Hemrajani Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2000 5:19 PM To: bwoods2@uswest.net Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Caching DNS server behind NAT....
