If I put the tcpdump on "lo" and repeat, with nscd running I see only one hit. If I stop nscd I see one hit each time (but none on eth0). So it appears that both nscd and dnsmasq are caching DNS queries...
Interesting!
So, the point now is to decide which is best to use. I want dnsmasq, because I also use it for local machine names. So perhaps I should disable nscd (for hosts). :-?
That is kind of what I was suspecting, you have dual caches. Since nscd caches things beyond DNS, it probably doesn't hurt you, other than taking up a bit more memory. Local machine names can be cached if they are in /etc/hosts I suppose. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
