Subject: cashing named server
>I started the named server on CentOS and it seems to
> resolve DNS request OK, but it does not seem to retain the
> info for very long. From what I can tell using "dig", a
> domain's ip address is retained for less than 12 hours. So
> in the morning, it takes 4+ seconds to resolve again the
> first time. Is there an adjustment somewhere for this or is
> the caching named support not enabled by default?
>
> Also, I thought it would be faster if I set named to use my
> ISP's named server as the first choice. Where do I set this
> up, in root.hints?
>
> Anyone who knows more about "named" please feel free to
