Now that is a question I have puzzled over in the negative... why
_shouldn't_ you? I know it is inconvenient to release a disk image that
has to be configured to start at a nearby upstream cache, but isn't that
more friendly to the root servers? True, you are reducing the pounding on
them by caching your _own_ repeat queries, but if all of us masqueraders
uses our own copies of dnscache then we haven't improved the overloading
situation for the root servers. Why bother them if the answer is nearby?
Perhaps this reconfiguration should be an option in the documentation.
