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.

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.
