Description petre rodan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-05-23 10:24:24 UTC
Hi hansmi,

attached you'll find a script that would allow a user that receives dns-related  data (from a dhcp/openvpn server) to automatically have it's dnscache configuration updated.

this is useful for those that connect to a lot of different networks at the same time and have a local dnscache on lo that does the dns forwarding.

basically the user has to provide a symlink between it's dnscache config dir and /etc/resolvconf/dnscache (as approval to using the script), and it's forward zones and the external dns cache will be maintained by resolvconf-gentoo.

I'm not sure what the best way to install this script would be, but would you consider providing this script as part of the djbdns package and installing it into /etc/resolvconf/update.d if the user has resolvconf-gentoo?

here is a happy victim of the script :)

thanks,

Thanks for this, but I won't add custom stuff to djbdns anymore. Sorry, it was too much pain.
