My system is connecting to the net, but nscd doesn't seem to be
caching DNS requests.
Yes, I did "rc-update add nscd default" and "/etc/init.d/nscd start".
But "ping -c 4 google.com" sends traffic to 192.168.123.254 port 53
each time, even if only 30 seconds apart. This was confirmed by running
"tcpdump -n dst port 53" in another console and watching the output.
/etc/resolv.conf has only one line, which points at my combo ADSL
router/modem that gets its DNS IP addresses from the PPPOE negotiation.
nameserver 192.168.123.254
The un-commented portion of /etc/nscd.conf is like so
enable-cache hosts yes
positive-time-to-live hosts 3600
negative-time-to-live hosts 20
suggested-size hosts 211
check-files hosts yes
...and /etc/nsswitch.conf says...
# /etc/nsswitch.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/nsswitch.conf,v 1.1
