Hello (and happy holidays!),
I had a question about setting up dns caching on my laptop running
sarge. I'm sure this has been discussed before but googling hasn't
turned up any clear explanations. I've RTFM'd and was confused by the
myriad of options. Thus, I'd be grateful for any advice.
Like many people, I network my laptop in different ways. I therefore
have set up the following /etc/network/interfaces file:
iface eth0-inria inet static
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
network xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns-nameservers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns-search inria.fr
iface eth0-dhcp inet dhcp
and installed the resolvconf package. Thus I can type
ifup eth0=eth0-inria
or
ifup eth0=eth0-dhcp
to switch environments. In both cases, the new dns information
(either from the dns-nameservers line or from dhclient) gets handed to
resolvconf which puts it in /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf, and thus
/etc/resolv.conf (which is a symlink). Cool.
Now I want to use pdnsd to cache dns queries. To do this, I need to
* keep my /etc/resolv.conf constant (nameserver 127.0.0.1);
* and get resolvconf to push changes directly to pdnsd (by calling
pdnsd-ctl).
How do I do this?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
