Hi list
I pretty much only want a caching name server
and I have after googling I got this for my named.conf
=============================================
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
dump-file "/var/cache/bind/named_dump.db";
query-source address * port 53;
// If your ISP provided one or more IP addresses for stable
// nameservers, you probably want to use them as forwarders.
// Uncomment the following block, and insert the addresses replacing
// the all-0's placeholder.
forwarders {
168.210.2.2;
196.14.239.2;
};
#auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
forward only;
statistics-file "/tmp/named.stats";
};
// Disable rndc
controls { };
=============================================
The question I would like to know is, how long will a domain record remain in a cache, and if its for a short time period, can I extend the time frame that
an the records exist in the cache.
Also, where is the cache. I have got this funny feeling that it all sit in memory of the machine.
If anyone could assist, I would be most grateful.
Kind Regards
Brent Clark
