Or better yet, dnscache (a part of djbdns). It's fast, lightweight, and hasn't needed any security updates in a looooong time. Note that you might be surprised how much more responsive your web surfing might become when you run your own caching name server. I use dnscache on many of my systems, including desktops that need special split-tunnel VPN DNS configurations and roadwarrior laptops when I don't want to rely on poorly administered hotel DNS servers. tim _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
