Hi, I'm one of the developers on Chromium[1] (aka Google Chrome) for Linux. Chromium likes to prefetch DNS records a lot and, as such, we would very much like it if Linux systems came with a local DNS cache.
To that end, I'm hacking up DJB's public domain DNS cache[2] to build with autotools, have a DBus interface etc[3], in the hope that it can turn into a painless package install and, in time, become standard practice. An important part of this would be to have NetworkManager configure the DNS cache when it gets new resolver information. I did a 10 minute hack[4] and it would be great if someone could let me know if I'm heading in the wrong direction at this stage. The part which mostly gives me pause for thought is that I'm making a DBus RPC call in named-manager, and I don't know if that's verboten because of latency considerations.
