I haven't used them together for a couple of years so all of this information may be out of date. However, in the absence of better information, try mine :) If you wanted to use tinydns and dnscache on the same machine, you *must* get them to bind to separate IP addresses. If the machine doesn't have two public interfaces, bind tinydns to 127.0.0.1 and dnscache to the public one. The only trouble with this is that *all* replies will be non-authorative, because they'll be coming from dnscache. If the box is meant to be authoratative for a domain, you're out of luck and you'll need two machines or one machine with two public interfaces. I wrote all this up at the time I did it (mid 2000): http://puzzling.org/computing/help/djb That doc is home network focussed because that's the context I was using it in. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
