Because I wanted to try the `gopher` TLD, but without delegating my whole DNS traffic to OpenNIC, I've written a small document on how to use the OpenNIC DNS servers to resolve **only** the `gopher` domains. At the following link I cover how to achieve this via either `dnscache` or `unbound`, both recursive resolvers that one can easily install on his system.
I do something similar on my router/firewall/server/everything else box that runs my home network.
I use bind for DNS and have all the opennic zones set up as forward zones in a similar way in my named.conf.local file to reduce the burden on the opennic servers and keep the icann tlds resolving normally.
The config looks something like this: // opennic forwarderszone "opennic.glue" {type forward; forwarders { <primary>; <secondary>; }; };
zone "geek" {type forward; forwarders { <primary>; <secondary>; }; }; <etc etc...> zone "gopher" {type forward; forwarders { <primary>; <secondary>; }; }; Obviously replace the forward server addresses with your nearest server :) Alistair. _______________________________________________ Gopher-Project mailing list Gopher-Project@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gopher-project
