Hi Frank and Mike, Ok, I believe I see the light now Frank. Finally... Heh...
Frank With your previous explanations I see now that I don't need to use the "FORWARDONLY" variable. Sorry it took so long. So now to use dnscache to soley do resolving instead of forwarding on behalf of the clients requests I just need to reconfigure my setup via the following: Please let me know if this is correct?? Remove the sym linked /service directory. And recreate after performing the following steps?? Should I stop "svscan" first before performing the above and below steps?? 1) Remove the the "FORWARDONLY" variable that I created intially??... when I did echo 1 > /etc/dnscache/env/FORWARDONLY 2) Repopulate /etc/dnscache/root/servers/@ with previous list of root servers before I removed them and added the one ip of the isp dns server? Umm..where do I get this list of ip's now that I have removed them?? I do notice that I have a file /etc/dnsroots.global that lists the following ips. 198.41.0.4 128.9.0.107 192.33.4.12 128.8.10.90 192.203.230.10 192.5.5.241 192.112.36.4 128.63.2.53 192.36.148.17 198.41.0.10 193.0.14.129 198.32.64.12 202.12.27.33 Can I just cp this list of ip's to /etc/dnscache/root/servers/@ ??? 3) Recreate /service directory: ln -s /ect/dnscache /service sleep 5 svstat /service/dnscache How's that look??
