I have to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to this thread. My filter is working 500% more efficient that it ever was. I have
done the following:

1. Installed djbdns and I am using dnscache as I was told. I have increased the cache size to 100 Megabytes and completely disabled logging

How do you disable logging completely? I use multilog and filter out all the lines so it logs nothing.
Is there a way to tell dnscache not to actually spit anything out?

Only by removing code from dsncache I believe. Most people just limit what, if anything, is picked up by multilog. I've never tried it but it would be interesting to see what

#svc -d /service/dnscache/log

would do. That would remove any need to modify your log/run script. I know some people just redirect dnscache output to /dev/null. I sometimes need to see what the stats are for dnscache when checking SA (URIBL SURBL), so I've never done it.

OK. That is what I do currently...have '-*' in my multilog....
but I thought there might be a way to avoid having a 'dummy' multilog process running.

I have l aso tried not starting the multilog (ie #svc -d /service/ dnscache/log), and it seems to work... but I wasn't sure if it would do anything funny over the long run, so I started it up again.

Maybe this is a dumb question...
But is it ok to have a process monitored by supervise not to have a corresponding multilog running to capture the output?
