Denis R. wrote: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/guarantee.html Richard, besides simple you want a _secure_ caching name server. Yes, you can type named_enable in rc.conf and be done with it, just don't forget to periodically check the security updates web page for BIND exploits. Thanks for the advice guys. I've got named up and running and so far I think its caching the DNS requests (well its serving them OK). I'm not really going to see the benefits of this on SpamAassassin till its database is full of requests is their anywhere (i.e. root-servers.net) that I can get a bind file which reduced this time period?

Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver
Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers). I am trying to install BIND (or djbdns) as a simple caching nameserver. Just to take some of the load off the networks DNS servers (my ISPs). However I am having trouble finding a good tutorial to follow. I've looked at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-dns.html but its mainly going on about being a nameserver which is not what I am after, wanting to keep it more simple than that. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/etc] $ named -v BIND 9.3.1 Can anyone suggest me a good tutorial to follow, I've googled but mostly they are for debain/redhat and some of the commands and files are different. Cheers Richard Richard, What you need is a caching DNS. See para 25.6.7. If you don't use forwarders this will bypass your ISPs DNS. There are other solutions too, try Google for them.

Richard just set the forwarders to another nameserver in the named.conf and that's it.. this will speed up SA massively. -- martin On 4/25/06, Richard Collyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers).

Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver
AND make sure that either /etc/resolv.conf doesn't exist or that it contains a single nameserver line like this: nameserver 127.0.0.1 otherwise your local nameserver isn't queried. You see, there's really nothing else to do on a standard installation of freebsd... 1- named_enable=YES in /etc/rc.conf 2- either delete /etc/resolv.conf or use nameserver 127.0.0.1 The default /etc/namedb/named.conf that comes installed does exactly what you want. -- Miguel Qua, 2006-04-26 às 08:05 +0100, Martin Hepworth escreveu: Richard just set the forwarders to another nameserver in the named.conf and that's it.. this will speed up SA massively. -- martin On 4/25/06, Richard Collyer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers).

Re: Bind as a chaching nameserver
For a caching nameserver simply follow the instructions in named.conf. Enable named in rc.conf, and start the daemon. -Derek At 05:50 PM 4/25/2006, Richard Collyer wrote: Hello, I've recently been getting a lot of trouble with SpamAssassin performing a lot of rDNS lookups which is causing network issues (timeouts etc to DNS servers).
