lookupd cache vs caching
For the record: I'm very envious of your dual 800 G4....
There are basically four key differences between Caching DNS and lookupd (there are actually more, but you'd have to read DNS and BIND to understand them). They basically add up to the fact that lookupd's caching mechanism is rather rudimentary compared to bind's. At any rate, the key differences are as follows:
Granted, these are not large differences, but this is why I stated at the outset that this is a slight optimization. I did it on my machine because I was interested in tooling around with the new version (v. 9) of bind. Once I completed it, I figured it would be fun to share. As for flumingan and his rolling eyes (see previous reply): The pedantic tone of his email is more consistent with one who "existed in the UNIX[sic]-world and ... know[s] a few tricks" than he realizes. If he had read more than the first paragraphs of the man page for lookupd, then he'd have known at least the first three of the above four items. At any rate, he'll do well not to openly flaunt run-of-the-mill Unix knowledge as though it were proof that he knows the secrets of the universe; it makes him look silly. |
