that wasn't what i had in mind at all. dns(1) does a whole bunch of things, including. - answering queries via /net/dns - answering queries via udp, and tcp, - maintence of database ndb files - resursive resolution via udp or tcp - caching of results currently these functions are all in ndb/dns, and there isn't even threading. that seems like a hard structure to maintain. - erik
