I would like to setup a caching name server on Feisty. I have looked at the wiki and no joy. Every time I have done this in the past all I needed to do was install it from a package. But I don't seem to find any for Feisty or Debian. The wiki points me at a DNS howto that is not for Debian systems. So what do other people do to set this up?? Or do you just have to live without one or try to figure out from the aged DNS howto?

Re: caching name server
I use dnsmasq. I found a how-to that walked me through installing it and it works great. It definitely does it's job, although I'm not too sure that the performance increase is even noticeable. Maybe. -
Re: caching name server
dnsmasq ok I will take a look at it. The big reason I want it is my cable modem ISP plays BS games with their DNS. They redirect you to sites that they want you to use and not the ones that you want to go to. It took me forever to get to kubuntu forum because of this. I thought I would just do an end around them and have my own DNS server.Comment

Re: caching name server
Then why don't you just revert to "neutral" DNS servers, e.g. by changing /etc/resolv.conf toOriginally posted by ArkRoyal
