As applications always seem to cache DNS in one way or another I'm not sure that a per-workstation cache will help that much. Applications that only lookup a few servers (such as email clients) tend to just look them up once per session. Applications that do lots of lookups (web log analysis and Squid) have their own caches. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
