To clients on your home network, +it looks just like a name server. In reality, it forwards every +DNS query to the "real" DNS server, and forwards responses back +to the client. + +So, why would you want to use it? DNRD was designed for home +networks where you might want to dial into more than one ISP +(ie, your home ISP and a dialup connection to your office). The +problem with multiple dialups is that you need to change +/etc/resolv.conf for each one. With DNRD, this is no longer +necessary. + +Your dialup machine will run DNRD (with appropriate options for +forwarding messages to the desired DNS servers). All other +machines on the home network, including the dialup machine +itself, will use the dialup machine as its DNS server. + +- George Reid +greid@ukug.uk.freebsd.org |
