Also need the box to do Routing and Masquerading. Would that be done by IPTables? Or, if I shoud use dnscache, which is apparently much more secure than BIND, or something else, that is easier for a newbie to get configured properly. TIA! Lanny
Bind as a caching nameserver is dead easy to install. Just run "yum install caching-nameserver" and it will pull everything in. Then "chkconfig named on & service named start" -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
