I tried to figure this out but it's a bit complicated and I hope it's not too long. Here's my setup: Everything is Fedora 10. I have a home server (saturn) off the cablemodem. I get my address from my ISP's dhcp server. I had made the following change to my box (saturn) so it would use OpenDNS.org [root@saturn etc]# cat /etc/dhclient-eth0.conf prepend domain-name-servers 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220; send host-name "saturn.syslang.net"; # temporary RHL ifup addition All is good. Then we have another machine inside my network which is getting its address from my own dhcpd. All is well there too. That machine also has its resolv.conf set by my dhcpd.conf to use opendns.org. What I want to do is to set up the DNS Caching Nameserver. The goal is: * for saturn to use OpenDNS.org * For client machines in my network to use saturn via the caching server I saw instructions to do this yum install caching-nameserver It installed bind. BTW, if I say rpm -q caching-nameserver it says package caching-nameserver is not installed. I started bind. Please note that I am not serving any names. I just want this for DNS name caching. Nothing more. Then the stuff on the web said to create a file called /etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf but that file didn't exist by default. As an experiment, I hand modified saturn's copy of /etc/resolv.conf so it just says nameserver 127.0.0.1 It looks like I'm still up and running. Should I, and how do I, really do the following: * Where do I modify bind to tell it to look in OpenDNS.org (i.e., 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220)? * Is it correct to modify the dhclient-eth0.conf to look in 127.0.0.1 * If I get these parts correct, then can I assume that setting my dhcpd.conf to say: option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.101; Would that be correct for my client? 192.168.0.101) from the client box points to saturn as the dhcp server and gateway. Sorry this is long, but I want to get this correct. Thanks -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.
