I'd like to setup my internet router for my local network to act as a dns-cache and dns-forwarder. I've managed to get bind to work that way. But I'd feel much happier if I could run something smaller, less complicated and for my task more secure. I suppose I could firewall external connections, but I'd feel much more safe with some other way of being sure that my server is secure.
I noticed this article about securing your box over at rootprompt (http://www.rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=903). It mentioned tcpserver and dnscache by D. J. Bernstein which seemed to do pretty much what I want. Was just wondering if there is a debian package for either these programs? I actually found a source-package for ucspi-tcp (tcpserver), but I couldn't find anything on dnscache or djbdns which dnscache is a part of. Not a big deal, since I can build it from source anyway, just wanted to know if there was any packages to save me some hassle.. But there's perhaps some other program that does what I want? A debian-way to do it so to speak :).. Thanks!
