I really don't get why when the computer is looking for an address
it tries the nameservers in resolv.conf before it tries hosts. However
I gather that the best way to solve my problem is to setup DNS and
name caching on my computer. I have a few questions since the whole
thing has me quite confused
1. I have the book The Linux Network that tells you how to setup DNS but it is several years old copyright 1998 has the basic structure stayed the same or do I need to find a more recent source for a howto.?
2. If you cache addresses and they are bad does it just give up or
does it try the nameserver at that point?
3. Can you forward requests to more than one name server ?
(My ISP gives you 3 )
I am sure I will have more questions before I begin to understand
how this all works so thank you for your patience. Thanks
