Hi All
Im running bind 9 on 9.1 pro with a forwarder to my isp.
options { directory "/var/lib/named"; forwarders { x.x.x.x; y.y.y.y; }; allow-query { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0/24; }; listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.0.1; }; notify no; }; [...] will this work as caching dns aswell. At the moment its working 100% as a internal and forwarder dns.If it works as a caching dns server were will i see the caching ( in what file )?
Yes, it'll cache. You won't see a file ecause it caches in memory. It's possible that one of the signals will make it dump cache stats, but I don't know offhand which one. Probably SIGUSR1 or something similar. Check out the man page, and send signals with "kill" (kill -l to get the number that corresponds to a name). For example, to send a SIGUSR1 to process ID 632: kill -10 632 Hope that helps... --Danny
