Or? I have dnsmasq running. Should I turn off nscd?
I don't know that having multiple caches will hurt, unless one is caching longer than the TTL.to the point it has stale data.
Even a "stale" cache is probably good enough in the case of monster big sites using round-robin dns schemes and very short TTLs. Those sites are still likely to have all those servers running. In a sense such sites pervert the whole concept of DNS by using it to load balance by round-robin. I'm NOT convinced it should be the remote client's job to query dns for every page part simply because the site want's to balance load. Any caching by your own browser or your in-house nscd, or your ISP's DNS server is going to undo the web site's round robin via DNS anyway. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
