Caching DNS for dialup

[Martin Hepworth]

Jonathon

presumably all the nameserver is doing is forwarding requests to your 
ISP, as  set in the named.boot file? also I guess you're running bind in 
  which case it will cache automatically.

probably best to just have it running on the gateway then it will cache 
requests from all clients. have the clients point to the gw as the 
nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf.
