Hello all expert Unix user, i truly new to UNix. I have read the djbdns website but i found out that his website is very confused.
What i want : DNS Caching only, no authoritiative via udp or tcp. Due to slow network performance, i want dns caching saved in disk, query by LAN and saved it in disk. I don't want to query anymore for frequent visit website from my ISP. I want faster connection
From the website :
1. How to run a cache on workstation
2. How to run a forwading cache on a home computer.
I don't know the difference between these two. Sorry for my confused due to my stupidity. I hope you all can help me out.
I think i should choose the second options but this section i not veru understand.
If your computer is running dhcp client to obtain a dynamically assigned ip address from your ISP, and if your dhcp client cannot be configured to make external dns cache information available to dnscache , then use workstation. I don't know whether i able to configure my /etcdhcpclient.conf. Maximum TTL is 3 days but i want save the information rougly 1 week.
djbdns: Domain Name System tools
There are many options in this website
How to run a cache on a workstation
How to run a computer without a cache
How to run a forwarding cache on a home computer
How to run an external cache for your network
How to run an external forwarding cache
I think i need to choose one from theses.
By the way, i using openbsd 4.1 as gateway. I need my LAn to query from this gateway.
If i choose second options, can i repeat the step of 5 and 6 for various external dns cache even though that is not my ISP dns cache server.
Thanks. Which one should i choose ?
Thanks for your help. Your help is greatly appreciated by me and others
