caching-only name server

[José Alonso]

Hi Vijay, I'm not an expert on BIND, but I have few questions to understand
more. What I meant was that if you don't write the listen directive the
named service is by default going to listen on port 53, also if you run the
named service in every client machine you will lose the function of caching
among all your clients. But that definitely can work.

Also, are your clients all linux-based  or windows-based?

Regards,
Jose
