I am running FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE behind a Linksys Wireless Access

seen at least 3 different root domains.
I have a number of machines on my wireless network and I would like
them to be able to find one another. To do this I have assigned them
fixed IP addresses.
My problem how to assign the Domain Name Servers for all the
machines. I point them all at the Linksys, which seems to work most
of the time, but occasionally network traffic gets really slow and I
suspect that its a DNS problem.
Can I set up something on my FreeBSD server to help solve this
problem?

Hi,
if you're looking for a application serving you DNS look at
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html for HowTo's and software. I use it for a
similar setup as you have and also you can win $500 if you find the
first security hole in the latest releases.
I tried following the instructions at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-
cache-x.html. Got as far as
5. As root, tell svscan about the new service, and use svstat to
check that the service is up:
ln -s /etc/dnscache /service
sleep 5
svstat /service/dnscache
and was told ...
/service/dnscache: unable to chdir: file does not exist
