"That depends" is a phrase which fills my heart with sunshine.. ;-) > You just need to set up a caching nameserver. OK. I got an off-list reply suggesting I'd add some often visited/used servers to /etc/hosts, and I think I'll do that while looking into setting up a cahing nameserver. Any particular pitfalls I should avoid when setting one up? A link to a good tutorial? Everything is welcome... Many thanks for your fast reply!
