Without objection, I'll point out that one leading advantage of a local recursive server (what you probably mean when you say 'caching DNS server'[1]) is that it Just Works -- in exactly the same way as 'public DNS' does, plus you get faster response, because it's local and you have low connection latency. [1] The term 'caching server' doesn't tell you much, and doesn't really say what the software _does_. Lots of different sorts of nameservice software do caching. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
