No response from -questions, trying here.
The gist is: is implementing lwresd feasible as a caching-only stub
resolver?
I need something I can run locally to intercept and cache DNS responses.
BIND is not the answer (too heavyweight) and dnsmasq doesn't appear to
cache.
nscd is what I'm used to on Linux but it doesn't seem to be in FreeBSD.
Something called cached but I don't see it on the systems I'm working
with (5.4, 6.1, 6.2 yea I know out-of-date so don't even say it).
Can I use lwresd ? The documentation for how to do so are unclear.
I've found:
http://www.isc.org/sw/bind/arm93/Bv9ARM.ch05.html
and reviewed the lwresd(8) man page but there is not a good example of
how to setup correctly.
Also the ISC doc describes putting lwserver entries into resolv.conf but
these are not mentioned in resolver(5).
I do not see the hooks around for nsswitch.conf e.g. to put lwres in the
hosts: line would have no effect because something like nss_lwres does
not exist for FreeBSD.

So I am considering lwresd(8)

I have tried putting lwserver 127.0.0.1 and nameserver 127.0.0.1 while
running lwresd but not getting response.
Does some kind soul have this working and can provide some example or
advice?
