Speed internet browsing via a local domain name server
Authored by: bloodycelt on May 04, '05 05:18:26PM

Try this hint for Tiger DNS:

it seems a bit easier as Tiger DNS is using launchd

Though at the end when it gives the launchctl commands I had to use the full path of the file and the .plist extension for 'launchctl load' command.

It's actually even easier than that. There's no need to edit the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.isc.named.plist file at all, just use

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.isc.named
sudo launchctl start org.isc.named

to enable named, and

sudo launchctl stop org.isc.named
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.isc.named

to disable it. The "-w" flag tells launchctl to write the disabled status (true or false) back to the plist file.

Ack! There needs to be a .plist at the end of /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.isc.named of course.
