Hi Clemens, I think you meant to say "Hi Mark"? - I am not the OP. Since Mark has many addresses/hosts to lookup then a local caching nameserver will definitely reduce traffic to the DNS servers, but every now and then it'll need some maintenance (i.e. refreshing the list of the root servers). I guess it's one more thing to look after. -- Regards, Mick
