And you are rude. Solution: learn some manners. If you don't have the 
attention span to read more than a few lines of prose, I'm not 
interested in your attempts to make that my problem. As others have 
demonstrated, plenty people do.

There's no point in forgetting the DNS caching, it's the only reason I'm 
doing any of this, otherwise I already have a perfectly functioning 
network protected by a simple layer of security and there would be 
nothing to do. And where would the fun in that be? :)
