When you say "in 11.2+, nscd is also required to be running to
work around some routers providing broken DNS services" - can you go into more
detail? (By private mail if that is more appropriate). Personally, I use
dnsmasq to proving DNS caching/validation/local resolution services because I
have to deal with broken routers, too.
Pertinent to the upcoming 11.2 release:
unscd's manpage needs a healthy update (it documents none of the command line
switches) and I can't make 'nscd -i' work without a second option. The
invocation (usage) text needs a slight update (-i does not specify that a
parameter is required) - ideally a parameterless -i invocation would use
something like "all" and invalidate all of the caches...
That said, unscd is shaping up very nicely.
The problems with nss_ldap are many and scary - I can see nscd being required
to solve issues with that library.
I'm very glad some nscd replacement is going to be present, and I'm overjoyed
that it'll be installed by default in 11.2 - I suspect this will help out a
great deal!
