DNS cache on Slackware 10.2
Hi guys,
Is there a DNS cache on Slackware 10.2? I can perform a DNS lookup on my Slackware 10.2 box (either by pinging something by name or browsing to a website) perfectly. The IP address comes back from my Bind DNS server and all is well. If however, if I take the network DNS server off line and perform the same ping / web browsing operation again - it fails (as the DNS server is no longer there). Does Slackware not have a DNS cache locally? I would have expected it to remember the IP address of the box I pinged (assuming the TTL hasn't expired). Am I missing something? Mark. |
No, Slackware has nothing in the way of a DNS cache (unless you set up BIND locally to do that).
