Hi,

here's what i found on a faq:

# Where does the caching name server store its cache? Is there any way I can control the size of the cache?

The cache is completely stored in memory, it is not written to disk at any time. Every time you kill named the cache is lost. The cache is not controllable in any way. named manages it according to some simple rules and that is it. You cannot control the cache or the cache size in any way for any reason. If you want to you can ``fix'' this by hacking named. This is however not recommended.

# Does named save the cache between restarts? Can I make it save it?

No, named does not save the cache when it dies. That means that the cache must be built anew each time you kill and restart named. There is no way to make named save the cache in a file. If you want you can ``fix'' this by hacking named. This is however not recommended.


I believe you can find some info in the named.stats (/var/tmp), it looks like you've got to update the file before looking what's in it (rndc stats)...

Hi, i'm using Fedora Core 3. is the faq on it ? Thanks
