I was thinking of cache servers but should I build a cache or > should I build another DNS primary server? That depends on whether you have your own zone or not (i.e. a domain or a subdomain). Some name server has to be responsible for this zone, and yours is the obvious choice. For information on how to set up a name server, look at "TCP/UP Network Administration", by Craig Hunt (O'Reilly). The second edition of "The Complete FreeBSD" will also contain information on how to set up a name server. Contact me if you want to proof-read and test the information. Greg
