I use dnsmasq on a Raspberry Pi as a local DNS cache, referring back to the Google public DNS servers IPv6 addresses over a true IPv6 connection, this avoids any NAT latency and memory problems in my router. I switched to this setup because my ISP's own DNS servers often respond very slowly. It is amazing how well the cache works and how many cache hits it gets, having turned on dnsmasq logging.
I have turned off the Windows DNS service on both my LMS server (WHS v1) and my Vista laptop. This removes DNS caching in Windows, because the Windows cache is awful and has a tendency to hang onto results forever even if they expire. It may be this Windows keeping results for too long that is causing some people problems with Akamai. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Owen Smith's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42371 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
