upgrading from BIND (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-bind-1.html). dnscache-conf creates a service directory D that runs dnscache (8). The name D must start with a slash and must not contain any special characters. Normally D is /etc/dnscache . You can run the service under svscan (8) by creating a symbolic link in the svscan (8) directory: ln -s D /service The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon reboot. You can use svc (8) to control the service. dnscache-conf arranges for dnscache (8) to chroot to D /root and to run under the uid and gid of acct . The name acct must not contain any special characters. dnscache-conf arranges for dnscache (8) to listen for UDP packets and TCP connections on port 53 of ip . ip is optional; if it is not supplied, dnscache-conf arranges for dnscache (8) to listen on 127.0.0.1. dnscache-conf creates D /root/ip/127.0.0.1 so that dnscache (8) will accept queries from 127.0.0.1. dnscache-conf puts 128 bytes of not-particularly-secret data into D /seed and arranges for dnscache (8) to pass D /seed to dns_random_init (3). If your system has a good source of random data, you can replace D /seed with 128 bytes of data from that source. dnscache-conf creates an automatically rotated log directory in D /log/main. The logs are owned by logacct . The corresponding multilog (8) processes run under the uid and gid of logacct . The name logacct must not contain any special characters.
