You could set up dnsmasq, which will cache your dns queries, saving a small
amount of bandwidth but more importantly speeding things up some.
I find that dnsmasq is already installed but I assume needs configuration.
One you will probably want to do is tell dnsmasq which ethernet
interface it can and cannot listen on, as we really don't want it
listening on the internet. Around line 69 of the /etc/dnsmasq.conf
file, you will see:
#interface=
Uncomment the line and specify which ethernet interface(s) you want
it server IPs to. For example, if I want it to listen on eth1 (my
DMZ) and eth2 (my local network), then it s
should look like
interface=eth1
interface=eth2
I'm already confused. If I don't want it listening on the internet and
our LAN [eth0] on this computer where do I tell it to go? Ideally it
should work for all computers on the LAN but that may not be possible.
I'm looking at: http://wiki.debian.org/HowTo/dnsmasq
The dd-wrt wireless router is normally the dhcp server so I don't want
another dhcp function, just whatever help it might provide with dns.
Actually the dns I have is probably adequate but you've aroused my
curiosity.
