nscd is a sucky cache daemon for hosts. We strongly recommend to disable the caching for hosts, and to use a proper DNS cache. I can recommend pdnsd that is very useful in that regard, and supports many more features than nscd does. In lenny, hosts caching is disabled in nscd. -- ·O· Pierre Habouzit ··O [EMAIL PROTECTED] OOO http://www.madism.org
