There are 2 components in djbdns, dnscache, and tinydns. dnscache is what you install if you want to be able to resolve host names of other sites on the Internet. You run tinydns if you want to provide resource records for your own domain. In you case, you seem to just want to do resolution, and so you want to run dnscache. It's very easy to set up, and all the instructions are on http://cr.yp.to/faq/cache.html -- Anand Buddhdev http://anand.org _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
