Hello,

I'm fed up with waiting for ever the same name requests from my
browser (and open servers don't cut it either): which DNS cache
or caching DNS for simple local installation would you recommend?

Regards,
ralf

I use dnsmasq, can be used as a LAN cache too (by simply allowing
requests from a given interface). Took me about 30 minutes to configure.
I asked dhcp to save to resolv.conf.2 and made resolv.conf to request
from localhost.

What about permanent (with saving to hdd) caching? It seems like pdnsd
do this thing only...

Does not seem to matter here much, since I suspend, not turn off. But
anyway, most DNS names should be cached only few hours, half a day or so
(well, there are some that have week long timeouts, but not many).

what about dnscache of djbdns tools?
took 2 minutes to setup via dnscache-setup script.

I'm using the DNS of my router (D-Link DSL-500G). Works without client side installations.

Not sure I have noticed drawbacks of using a permanent cache during few
years - probably I use too stable net resources :-)

OK this works fine, thanks. However, udhcpd cannt be coaxed to
write the servers to the new file, am I missing something?

But it's not too bad, I don't reboot often.


Thanks for all the answers (and questions

As an admin that occasionally has cause to shift traffic between coasts
for maintenance I hate *hate* anything that ignores my TTLs and consider
such software broken and bane upon our fair Internet.
