Using the cache In general, we expect a resolver to cache all data which it receives in responses since it may be useful in answering future client requests. However, there are several types of data which should not be cached: - When several RRs of the same type are available for a particular owner name, the resolver should either cache them all or none at all. When a response is truncated, and a resolver doesn't know whether it has a complete set, it should not cache a possibly partial set of RRs. - Cached data should never be used in preference to authoritative data, so if caching would cause this to happen the data should not be cached. - The results of an inverse query should not be cached. ... In a similar vein, when a resolver has a set of RRs for some name in a response, and wants to cache the RRs, it should check its cache for already existing RRs. Depending on the circumstances, either the data in the response or the cache is preferred, but the two should never be combined. If the data in the response is from authoritative data in the answer section, it is always preferred.

Re: Where is /etc/resolv.conf defined?
Scribbling feverishly on January 09, Joel Hammer managed to emit: I would like to know how my linux box knows that /etc/resolv.conf is the place to look for dns servers. I have grepped through the linux sources, but could not find any file with resolv.conf in it. glibc -- particularly, the resolver library and the NSS (Name Service Switch) facilities. Specifically, the file resolv/resolv.h defines the macro _PATH_RESCONF: #define _PATH_RESCONF /etc/resolv.conf I grepped /etc and found a few files. One is /etc/lst.cnf, which has all the various files defined, like so: FILE_ETC_HOSTS=/etc/hosts FILE_ETC_RESOLV_CONF=/etc/resolv.conf FILE_ETC_NETWORKS=/etc/networks FILE_ETC_EXPORTS=/etc/exports FILE_ETC_GATEWAYS=/etc/gateways FILE_ETC_HOST_CONF=/etc/host.conf FILE_ETC_INETD_CONF=/etc/inetd.conf FILE_ETC_RC_INET1=$DIR_INIT_CONF/rc.inet1 FILE_ETC_RC_INET2=$DIR_INIT_CONF/rc.inet2 Is this file the basic source file that defines where all these basic files should be? Which programs actually use this file, lst.cnf? No. lst.cnf is the configuration file that used to be used by Caldera's lisa tool. It may still be used by some of Caldera's newer configuration and installation tools, but I no longer track Caldera, so I can't be certain.

Somebody circulated some scripts to rescue this a while % back, but they're saved on the dud partition :-( Try mke2fs -S on the dead partition. -S causes e2fs to write only the superblock and group descriptors, leaving the data alone. Use the same block size as the file system has. The man page entry says it all: -S Write superblock and group descriptors only. This is useful if all of the superblock and backup superblocks are corrupted, and a last-ditch recov ery method is desired. It causes mke2fs to reini tialize the superblock and group descriptors, while not touching the inode table and the block and inode bitmaps. The e2fsck program should be run immediately after this option is used, and there is no guarantee that any data will be salvageable. It is critical to specify the correct filesystem blocksize when using this option, or there is no chance of recovery.

If port 80 is blocked at the router, before it ever gets to my system, port redirection won't work. I've already tried running the server on port 8080, as it happens.

Rh72. fstab looks similar to Kurt, specifically LABEL=/1/ ext3defaults1 1 LABEL incidentally will not work for /devfs file systems. Dunno why, and I can't find any documentation as to what LABEL actually does. From man 5 fstab: Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or XFS) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label (cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=label or UUID=uuid, e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'. This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label. e2label prints and changes the label, as does tune2fs -L.
