Just a big thank you to everyone here, prompted by a negative experience on Usenet. When I mentioned 'djbdns' there I was assailed for all sorts of idiocy. Never mind that all I wanted was dnscache for my own free-standing machine, I was "breaking standards."

While I don't always get a usable answer here, I always get positive vibes that make me feel at home, and encouragement to discover the answer for myself.

BTW, did you folks know that Mozilla now tries to bypass your /etc/hosts file and runs a direct DNS query on the localhost? I discovered this when I tried to find out why Mozilla hangs 90 seconds or more only if you run djbdns. The dnscache assumes the app will look first in the files, as it should. No other Net app I use does that but Mozilla (and derivatives). So, I don't use Mozilla anymore.

Well you did better than me, Bumbler. Whenever I mention anything at all on Usenet, I only get responses about herbal Viagra. :-)

<chuckles> Well, I beat that by violating yet another standard: I used the good ol' fake addy for a return address. Of course, that violation was something all the BSD posters did, it seems. "That's different."

I support standards, generally, but some are clearly wrong.
