g'day,

i've got kernel 2.0.33, ppp 2.3.4, and ip masquerading working just fine
for our home network, to give dial-on-demand internet access.

i want to speed things up a bit (the ISP uses a 26.6K modem !), so
can/should i install some form of dns or caching ?

the one "fly in the ointment" is that my linux server is a 8M 386.

any suggestions (apart from junk the '386) welcome,



cheers,



Mat

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There only two types of people who run their own dns (even cache only)

1. Really smart people

2. Really dumb people

And there are a lot more dumb people than smart people
