Hi all!

Finally I convienced the people that they should use djbdns instead
of bind. But I realized that installing tinydns for lan and dnscache 
for forwarding the not local queries. So what I have and 
what I want. I have:

LAN-----eth0 -PROXY-eth1---------------------Net
                         |
			 |
			 |-Mail&other server(s)

What I want: setup a zone for LAN computers. 
I also want that every name which couldn't 
be resolved from data.cdb go to the dnscache which
than forward it to outer DNS servers if the query is 
not in its cavhe. 
I know
that I should use the same file for reverse zone 
if with = before hotnames. So, I setup daemontools.
Right now svscan uses /service. I installed djbdns.
I started to add hosts with add-host.
I also used add-ns to add the PROXY address as a nameserver
record and to also added it as NS for reverse queries.
What should I write into resolv.conf and  which interface should
I use for dnscache? I read that they can't share the same IP.
Bye,
Ago
