Hi, Well I am student and my college provides us with a lease line connection for the internet . The problem is that we use DNS provided by the BSNL . Thus whenever I have to resolve for a site it take lot's of time . Thus I would like to setup a small dNS server on my machine so that all the lookups I have done so far are cached and I don't need to go up to BSNL DNS . Is there anyway I can do it if yes Pls point me to such a location on the net .I have read DNS howto but couldn't understand much out of it . bye Tushar
that's done at my institute,but precisely donno how :(

Yes, you can setup a caching DNS server at your end and then point it's forward server to bsnl's server. and then point your client/proxy server to this name server.
so next time your client needs a address, it would query your local server. the local serrver would fetch the address from bsnl's dns server and cache it. next time if same address is requested, your name server will give it directly to client without contacting bsnl.
