+DNRD is a proxy name server. 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.
