Re: Does WINE work on FreeBSD amd64 ?

Heh. I was just thinking about going the other way. One of the main problems with the nVidia on X is that the xorg-nvidia driver is very basic; this can be demonstrated by going to a Javascript heavy page (eg http://www.xwiki.org) using firefox. The X-server just slows to crawl when trying to scroll the site. The behaviour is not exhibited with xorg-intel driver, as a counter-example. Support for the nVidia on FreeBSD from the vendor is also incomplete: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2006-June/016995.html The feature request from nVidia appears to have stalled for the time being (more correctly: I couldn't locate news on any updates to on the 'Net).

Would this suit your purpose? Well, yes, it would suit the purpose, but my fear was exactly that of what Matthew states below about 'leaking'. I believe that the problem is this: even if configured to be an authoritative server, BIND will respond to a query about zones outside what it has authoritative data for with data from its cache if that data is present. As there is only one cache per instance of BIND, enabling any sort of recursive capability on a server that is otherwise meant to be entirely authoritative can lead to data leaking between the authoritative and recursive parts. This opens up the possibility of tricking a server into caching false data and responding with it as if it was authoritative. If this were true, the view feature would be broken. I've just tried this with a client-based ACL, and there doesn't appear to any cache-leaking across views. Any counter-examples would be welcome.

Well, from what I read (I can't remember where), if I use views to do this with only a single instance running, the problem arises that even though the 'external' (requests for authoritative answers) clients can and will get responses from the caching side of the server if the result they are after is already cached. I didn't quite parse this, could you please elaborate? I want the two services to be completely disparate, and more precise, I'd like to have the recursive instance to have to query the authoritative instance for a result from the same box.

Let's say your authoritative server is listening on IP-A, and your
caching server is listening on IP-B; both ip-addresses are on the same
host. We can have a named instance listening on both addresses, with
multiple views like:
/*
Used by root .tld.
*/
view authoritative

match-destination

IP-A;
};
recursion no;
zone my.authoritative.org

*/
view caching
{
match-destination
{
IP-B;
};
recursion yes;

The match-destination inspects the DNS address used by the client to
query to determine which view to use. Would this suit your purpose?

Now I am trying to build Open Office for access to word files. The make install dies at the point where the java files need to be manually installed. I did that but this version of Open Office requires older versions of java. I built openoffice and jdk15 just last week without any problems.
