No doubt BIND can do this ... but I find djbdns much easier to configure. The following URL outlines what you need to do, and is dead simple: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-x.html Install the /usr/ports/dns/djbdns port, then head to the above page. Don't forget to set up daemontools (it will be installed as a dependency but requires some configuration). -- Danny
