I've been running it for over two weeks.
the return information on an MX record is different than
bind. It returns less information and doesn't seem to
send the oversized DNS packets. If you read about dnscache
it talks about how it works better with qmail.
dnscache MX lookup:
bash$ nslookup
> set type=mx
> inter7.com
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
inter7.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = vast.inter7.com
bind MX lookup
> inter7.com
Server: ns1.inter7.com
Address: 209.218.8.2
inter7.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = vast.inter7.com
inter7.com nameserver = ns1.inter7.com
inter7.com nameserver = ns2.inter7.com
vast.inter7.com internet address = 209.218.8.20
ns1.inter7.com internet address = 209.218.8.2
ns2.inter7.com internet address = 209.218.8.3
