DNScache uses daemontools to start, monitor, and control the DNS services. Before running DNScache you need to install daemontools 0.61 or above. Make sure that the daemontools programs are in your system's default path.
You will also need to install ucspi-tcp if you want to use axfrdns or axfr-get.
Unpack the DNScache package:
gunzip dnscache-0.82.tar tar -xf dnscache-0.82.tar cd dnscache-0.82
Compile the DNScache programs:
make
As root, install the DNScache programs in /usr/local/dnscache:
make setup check
Now you can configure a local cache, configure an external cache, and configure a DNS server.
To report success:
( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) \ | mail djb-sysdeps@cr.yp.toReplace First M. Last with your name.
