I have no problem using dnsmasq if that is the best recommendation, in fact I quite like it but am not fond of djbdns. However lwresd *is* in the base install vs. dnsmasq which is a port, so would like to use lwresd if possible (or something else in base like cached). There is nothing I find in the man page, handbook or google that says I shouldn't or can't use lwresd, only hints that I can, yet with no clear working real-world examples. So I'm really hoping for two answers. 1. Can lwresd be used (somehow) or not 2. What are the viable/best alternatives to #1 for a caching-only stub resolver (like nscd on linux) Thanks. -- Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints... Mark D.
