Just feel like saying this
Considering all the different things we now cache --- why hasn't anyone written any code that will cache DNS data?
You just haven't seen "rediculous redundancy" until you have seen several domain name translation requests made within a few seconds while loading a single web page...
Any thoughts?

I thought BIND did caching by default - you didn't have to configure it, it just did it. It uses memory only, i.e. it writes nothing to disk - this means it's quick, but if you restart the service (or the machine) the cache info is lost, and it has to look up names first time through in a new instance.
I thought this was always the main reason for running your own instance of BIND.Linux user #126863 - see http://linuxcounter.net/
