This patch courtesy of Russ Nelson: http://tinydns.org/djbdns-1.05-ignoreip2.patch This patch change djbdns's dnscache program so that it will ignore the IP address given in the ignoreip file. I wrote this patch because of Verisign's oh-so helpful wildcard A record for *.COM and *.NET. Configure it to ignore Verisign's wildcard record like this: echo 64.94.110.11 >/service/dnscache/root/ignoreip svc -t /service/dnscache Configure it to ignore all the cretins like this: awk '{print $2}' </service/dnscache/root/ignoreip *.ac 194.205.62.122 *.cc 206.253.214.102 *.com 64.94.110.11 *.cx 219.88.106.80 *.museum 195.7.77.20 *.net 64.94.110.11 *.nu 64.55.105.9 and 212.181.91.6 *.ph 203.119.4.6 *.sh 194.205.62.62 *.tm 194.205.62.62 *.ws 216.35.187.246 EOF svc -t /service/dnscache If root/ignoreip is not present, no addresses will be ignored.
