Some Netscape -Navigator versions for Unix, for example, expose this behavior. -pdnsd is configurable via a file and supports run-time configuration using the -program pdnsd-ctl that comes with pdnsd. This allows you to set the status -flags of servers that pdnsd knows (to influence which servers pdnsd will -query), and the addition, deletion and invalidation of DNS records in pdnsd's -cache. -Parallel name server queries are supported. This is a technique that allows -querying several servers at the same time so that very slow or unavailable -servers will not block the answer for one timeout interval. -Since version 1.0.0, pdnsd has full IPv6 support. - -WWW: http://home.t-online.de/home/Moestl/ - -Roman Shterenzon <roman@xpert.com> |
