zz_local_dns_cache - This package configures a host do local dns caching with bind

Website: http://fermilinux.fnal.gov/
License: GPL
Vendor: Fermilab
Description:
Installing this package will reconfigure named to run as a caching nameserver which will only allow connections from localhost. Your /etc/resolv.conf will be modified to call on localhost as primary nameserver.  The dhclient process will be configured to use this nameserver, if present.  Network Manager will be configured to use this nameserver, if present.

You should consider customizing the DNS server search list provided.  When removed you will be restored to using 131.225.0.254 and 8.8.8.8 as SLF is used both on and off site.  If this is not what you want, you will need to customize these.

zz_local_dns_cache-3-0.0.noarch [17 KiB] Changelog by Pat Riehecky (2011-11-09):
- Almost totally re-written
- Moved NetworkManager to trigger
- Moved dhclient to trigger
- Added dnsmasq trigger
  this rpm enables bind, but if you want instead dnsmasq it should be configured
- Now requires selinux packages, selinux enforcement is however optional
  more info in README.selinux
- Using links to help make it obvious which file bind is reading
- Modified config to use views to help reduce possible non localhost use in bind
- Switched from a dynamic config to a static one for deploy and copy to 'doc'
  it is configured after the style of SLF5 caching-nameserver but with
  the approach from SLF6 bind.  It ballences security and readibility.
- Obsolete caching-nameserver for 5.x its not in 6.x and integration was messy
- Set sane looking defaults rather than ad-hoc creation of forwarder list
   + 131.225.0.254
   + 8.8.8.8
