- What about putting them into /etc/hosts....
-
- Also, after first query data is cached already.
-
- the other soulution is to run another primary nameserver locally,
- on your network (that is what I do - I run 2 primary nameservers,
- to save such troubles not to mention kludges like overwriting
- /etc/resolv.conf). You will have to keep both primaries in sync.
