I don't recall it being discussed before. Of course, if you set up a caching-only name server right on the machine that runs htdig, the nameserver requests would likely become a non-issue. That's probably a cleaner solution than putting caching right into htdig, although it might be easy enough to add an IP address field to the Server class and have htdig use that for connections. -- Gilles R.
