A comment I found via google: "persistent cache" is an oxymoron. Also: "When a conventional server starts, it builds up a cache fairly quickly. Loading old, possibly stale, data seems an exercise in pointlessness. All that's saved is a bit of latency perhaps and some bandwidth for DNS lookups. That will get lost in the noise. Meanwhile extra complexity is added to the server to dump and reload an old cache. Things will get even uglier with views in BIND9. Each view has its own cache. What if the server finds the view definitions changed before the restart?" -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
