dns forwarding/cache
I'd like to setup my internet router for my local network
to act as a dns-cache and dns-forwarder. I've managed to get
bind to work that way. But I'd feel much happier if I could run
something smaller, less complicated and for my task more secure.
I suppose I could firewall external connections, but I'd
feel much more safe with some other way of being sure that my
server is secure.
I noticed this article about securing your box over at rootprompt
(http://www.rootprompt.org/article.php3?article=903). It mentioned
tcpserver and dnscache by D. J. Bernstein which seemed to do
pretty much what I want.
Was just wondering if there is a debian package for either these
programs? I actually found a source-package for ucspi-tcp (tcpserver),
but I couldn't find anything on dnscache or djbdns which dnscache
is a part of. Not a big deal, since I can build it from source anyway,
just wanted to know if there was any packages to save me some hassle..
But there's perhaps some other program that does what I want?
A debian-way to do it so to speak :)..
Thanks!
