It is essentially a stripped-down, caching-only name - server that answers queries using the BIND 9 lightweight - resolver protocol rather than the DNS protocol. - </para> - <para> - <command>lwresd</command> listens for resolver queries on a - UDP port on the IPv4 loopback interface, 127.0.0.1. This - means that <command>lwresd</command> can only be used by - processes running on the local machine. By default UDP port - number 921 is used for lightweight resolver requests and - responses. - </para> - <para> - Incoming lightweight resolver requests are decoded by the - server which then resolves them using the DNS protocol. When - the DNS lookup completes, <command>lwresd</command> encodes - the answers in the lightweight resolver format and returns - them to the client that made the request. - </para> - <para> - If <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> contains any - <option>nameserver</option> entries, <command>lwresd</command> - sends recursive DNS queries to those servers. This is similar - to the use of forwarders in a caching name server. If no - <option>nameserver</option> entries are present, or if - forwarding fails, <command>lwresd</command> resolves the - queries autonomously starting at the root name servers, using - a built-in list of root server hints. - </para> - </refsect1> - - <refsect1> - <title>OPTIONS</title> - - <variablelist> - <varlistentry> - <term>-C <replaceable class="parameter">config-file</replaceable></term> - <listitem> - <para> - Use <replaceable - class="parameter">config-file</replaceable> as the - configuration file instead of the default, - <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename>. - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - - <varlistentry> - <term>-d <replaceable class="parameter">debug-level</replaceable></term> - <listitem> - <para> - Set the daemon's debug level to <replaceable - class="parameter">debug-level</replaceable>. - Debugging traces from <command>lwresd</command> become - more verbose as the debug level increases. - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - - <varlistentry> - <term>-f</term> - <listitem> - <para> - Run the server in the foreground (i.e. do not daemonize). - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - - <varlistentry> - <term>-g</term> - <listitem> - <para> - Run the server in the foreground and force all logging - to <filename>stderr</filename>. - </para> - </listitem> - </varlistentry> - - <varlistentry> - <term>-n <replaceable class="parameter">#cpus</replaceable></term> - <listitem> - <para> - Create <replaceable - class="parameter">#cpus</replaceable> worker threads - to take advantage of multiple CPUs.
