Exception: See the DNScache security guarantee.
DNScache uses daemontools to start, monitor, and control the DNS services. Before running DNScache you need to install daemontools 0.61 or above. Make sure that the daemontools programs are in your system's default path.
You will also need to install ucspi-tcp if you want to use axfrdns or axfr-get.
Unpack the DNScache package:
gunzip dnscache-1.00.tar
tar -xf dnscache-1.00.tar
cd dnscache-1.00
Compile the DNScache programs:
make
As root, install the DNScache programs under /usr/local:
make setup check
Now you can configure a local cache, an external cache, and a DNS server. If you're not familiar with DNScache, you should start by reviewing the standard configuration and, if you're behind a firewall, the standard firewall configuration. If you're not familiar with the Domain Name System, you should start by learning how DNS works.
To report success:
( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) \
| mail djb-sysdeps@cr.yp.to
Replace First M. Last with your name.
