Hi Brian, i'm not using DHCP. I thought about using a Caching DNS to get quicker response when accessing my internal machines when I'm offline [and possible speeding up access to the net] My internal machines are listed in /etc/hosts but access always seems significantly slower when I'm offline... gotta wonder if /etc/hosts gets read first? You probably noticed that I have two servers with firewalls... [LAN] serves web pages to my Local Hosts [LK] and [NK]. Given that I'm concerned about intra-lan access being slow.... do you think my putting the caching DNS on the inside/firewall/server [LAN] would be best? Thanks for the help johnny --- Brian Johnson <bjohnson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It's not worth it for a home network .. but you > could put it on any linux > machine that will be on most of the time > > I like to use the same machine as the dhcp daemon > (for simplicity) > > > > > > > Johnny Smith (opensource_powered@xxxxxxxxx) wrote: > > > > I'm wondering if I should set up a Caching DNS > Server > > for my home network? > > > > And on which machine/s? should I have one? > > > > The attached text file shows my network layout. > > > > Thanks for your guidance. > > > > Johnny > > > > __________________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Yahoo!
