I'd certainly recommend running DNS internally. I haven't looked at how caching-only servers are defined in the various linux distributions. If it's actually a complete DNS server that just happens to not be serving any zones, then I'd agree it's a good option. If it's implemented as something that merely passes requests on to the ISP's DNS server if the request isn't already cached, then I'd suggest running the complete server. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER jabr at jabber.org / YAHOO abreauj Email jabr at blu.org / WWW http://www.blu.org -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER jabr at jabber.org / YAHOO abreauj Email jabr at blu.org / WWW http://www.blu.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
