One recursive namserver per LAN is obviously better than several on grounds of multiple considerations that I won't belabour here. Personally, I'd rather the Linux community err on the side of a few too many local, non-corporate recursive nameservers than far, far too few -- but certainly, one per LAN is ideal. (IMO, the 'OMG, too many queries from not-strictly-necessary recursive nameservers are going to overwhelm the root/tld nameservers' argument sometimes heard is overblown. Cached glue once received lasts a very long time and is a trivial traffic concern.) _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
