Right now my machine has a nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf telling it to send DNS queries to a cache on another host. I'd like to run dnscache on this machine to handle future queries. From: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/faq/cachex.html#config How do I configure an external cache? I'd like to run dnscache on IP address 1.2.3.4 to handle DNS queries from the 1.2.3 network. > I additionally have a tinydns server that serves my 192.168.0.* network > bound to 127.0.0.1, that provides all information regarding hosts > on this network, assigning names to each one.
