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. +DNRD is a proxy DNS daemon. It supports several forward servers for +redundancy and/or load-balancing. DNS queries for specific domains can +be forwarded to a specific group of DNS servers (with redundancy and +load balancing) for that domain. It is useful for VPNs and also good +support for offline and dialup sites. -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. - -WWW: http://users.zoominternet.net/~garsh/dnrd/ +WWW: http://dnrd.sourceforge.net - George Reid greid@ukug.uk.freebsd.org |
