yes, I believe that its true,,, if you want to speed up DNS lookups, you need something like dnscache
There are mandrake rpms for DNScache available. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of NDPTAL85 Sent: Saturday, 8 December 2001 6:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [expert] DNS settings I have 4 boxes on my home network. A WinXP box, a Mac OS X box, Mandrake Linux workstation and a FreeBSD workstation. Earthlink is my ISP and they have 3 DNS servers. I want to set my Linux and FreeBSD boxes up as local DNS servers so I figured I would just add their IPs to the list of nameservers bringing that up to a total of 5 nameservers that OS X or XP could resolve to. Then someone told me most resolvers only check the first 3 entries anyway. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------ Behind every good computer -- is a jumble of wires 'n stuff. ------------------------------------------------------------
