Yes, it is called a caching nameserver. FC3 bundled it. Look under the "DNS Name Server" option after invoking system-config-packages from a terminal window and install it if its not already installed. Caching nameserver setup is rather trivial. In the forwarders section Put in your current name servers as forwarders and set you localhost address (e.g. 127.0.0.1) as nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf. Start | restart your nameservers using /etc/init.d/named [start|restart] hth, -indra. > Prashant Verma Indranil Das Gupta L2C2 Technologies -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Phone : (0)-98300-20971 Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW : http://www.l2c2.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- L2C2 : Innovations for India -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
