Sure? Why not? In the home LAN, I'd designate one system to be the cache for the entire LAN. In one of those rare instances of ``taking one's own advice'' this is exactly what I do at home. When I had a working laptop, it did run its own caching nameserver. -john ``SLB'' -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
