I followed the list advice and setup a simple cacheing dns server. I works

RR has its own ideas about what DNS servers it should use. How do I tell my

Thanks a ton,

In /etc/resolv.conf put
nameserver 127.0.0.1
as the first entry. That tells the machine to use itself first for DNS.

And to make it stick, you'll need to tell your DHCP client not to update
/etc/resolv.conf (as it likely will do, next time you acquire a new
lease). This varies from distribution to distribution, but generally if
you're using the older versions of isc's dhcpcd (ala RH 7.x) you need to
pass it an argument of -R to tell it not to update the
/etc/resolv.conf. If you're running something like dhclient (RedHat 9,
maybe newer), you'll need to create a /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks with a
replacement function for make_resolve_conf(), something like this:
function make_resolv_conf() { echo; } On a BSD box you're going to need
to add an appropriate parameter to /usr/local/etc/rc.conf to pass the
right args to dhcpcd or dhclient, depending on your version, etc. :)
More generally speaking, read the docs for your dhcp client. :)
