djbdns separates the caching and answering of DNS into
two different programs: tinydns for answering and dnscache
for caching. They have to be run separately. The problem
is they both want to listen on port 53. The trick is to
tell dnscache to listening on the internal NIC, and tinydns
on the loopback. Then, teach dnscache to resolve internal
network with the local tinydns. After that, things should
work.
