Hello everyone
i just recently installed Caldera 2.3 as my server in my lan. i want to set up a DNS Cacheing server for my workstations but i cant find any HOWTOs on the subject. the DNS HOWTO;s that comes with Caldera is specific to another OS because it looks very familiar to Slakware and i cant find named or anything else that would help me locate DNS. is dns automatically installed. I don't think so because i don't see any files that have dns in them. maybe im going crazy with this Gui configuration with Caldera or the new file structure. Please help me before i go mental......ooopsss to late

After installing Bind you dont need to do anything since every DNS server is caching DNS server by default .Just Tell your machine the address of the Primary DNS server you are going to use (In redhat its done in /etc/resolv.conf i dont know about Caldera ) Hope this helps
