Matthew, In my opinion, after looking and using a few, there is only one, and that is dnscache, which can be installed alone. It is part of the djbdns programs. It is fast, lightweight, totally secure, far better than BIND, which is monolithic in terms of having both DNS and Cache together. You will not be sorry. I will never go back to BIND for content or caching servers. If you use a content server, tinydns is faster (over 5000 queries per second), more secure also, *much easier* to set up, etc. http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html -- Gary sed '/^[when][coders]/!d /^...[discover].$/d /^..[real].[code]$/!d ' /usr/share/dict/words -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
