If you want djbdns instead of bind . . . This is a very quick note to help you get a djbdns caching nameserver up and running quickly. Remove bind and caching-namserver Don't remove bind-utils and bind-libs, you will need their tools. # rpm -e --nodeps bind bind-config (example for CentOS 4) Rebuild the djbdns source rpm:. rpmbuild --rebuild djbdns*src.rpm Go to your rpm directory and install djbdns-localcache: rpm -Uvh djbdns-localcache*.rpm Edit /etc/resolv.conf with only this entry: nameserver 127.0.0.1 Start djdns-localcache: service djbdns start That's about it . . . I will try to do someting better when I have more time. Regards, Nick
