I'm a long time djbdns user. But about a year ago, I switched from using dnscache to unbound for my cache, because it does useful stuff that dnscache doesn't do. I had a bunch of wacky local stuff configured into dnscache, like querying local servers for local-only domains, and substituting a local reject-all for some nasty outside domains, and it took about an hour to figure out how to do it all with unbound. I run it under daemontools. My authoritative servers are still tinydns, even though I do support IPv6. Since tinydns-data compiles stuff from a text source file, I have a perl script that translates lines with AAAA records in a normal format into the escape codes that tinydns uses for arbitrary record types. It's gross, but it works. So anyway, use unbound for your cache, no need to change away from tinydns unless you want to use DNSSEC, which it'll never support. -- Regards, John Levine, [email protected], Primary Perpetrator of "The Internet for Dummies", Please consider the environment before reading this e-mail. http://jl.ly ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
