I setup a machine for a friend about a year ago with dnsmasq. I just looked at my notes as I was wondering why I used dnsmasq instead of bind. I'd like to uppate my notes. Is the issue that dnsmask will watch resolve.conf for changes where it's hard(er) to make bind do that? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
