What makes you think dnsmasq doesn't cache? The documentation says
otherwise (second paragraph of the man page):
Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small,
local, cache or forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. It
it has quite a few options to control caching behavior, and certainly
seems to cache for me.
Thanks for pointing out my error.
I have no problem using dnsmasq if that is the best recommendation, in
fact I quite like it but am not fond of djbdns.
However lwresd *is* in the base install vs. dnsmasq which is a port, so
would like to use lwresd if possible (or something else in base like
cached). There is nothing I find in the man page, handbook or google
that says I shouldn't or can't use lwresd, only hints that I can, yet
with no clear working real-world examples.
So I'm really hoping for two answers.
1. Can lwresd be used (somehow) or not
2. What are the viable/best alternatives to #1 for a caching-only stub
resolver (like nscd on linux)
Thanks.
