I am using a coyote firewall with fixed IP's internally optionally using
dns, so that my print server has a fixed IP but a laptop plugged in
can get a local address. I don't have enough memory on that 486
to want to have a cache on it, so I have another caching dns on the
print server. It is pdnsd which is designed with this specific purpose,
and it is in stable I believe. Two is probably not better than one, but
it is a lot easier to set up. DaveA
