dnscache-conf - sets up a DNS cache service.

       This is a reference page.  For tutorial information, see the instructions for
       workstations (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache.html),
       homecomputers (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-cache-home.html),

       dnscache-conf  creates  a  service directory D that runs dnscache(8).  The name D must start with a slash
       and must not contain any special characters.  Normally D is /etc/dnscache.

       You can run the service under svscan(8) by using the update-service(8) program on Debian GNU/Linux

       update-service --add D

       or by creating a symbolic link in the svscan(8) directory (normally /service or /etc/service), e.g.:

       ln -s D /service

       The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon reboot.  You  can  use  svc(8)  to
       control the service.

       dnscache-conf arranges for dnscache(8) to chroot to D/root and to run under the uid and gid of acct.  The
       name acct must not contain any special characters.

       dnscache-conf arranges for dnscache(8) to listen for UDP packets and TCP connections on port 53 of ip.

       ip is optional; if it is not supplied, dnscache-conf arranges for dnscache(8) to listen on 127.0.0.1.

       dnscache-conf creates D/root/ip/127.0.0.1 so that dnscache(8) will accept queries from 127.0.0.1.

       dnscache-conf  puts 128 bytes of not-particularly-secret data into D/seed and arranges for dnscache(8) to
       pass D/seed to dns_random_init(3).  If your system has a good source of  random  data,  you  can  replace
       D/seed with 128 bytes of data from that source.

       dnscache-conf  creates  an  automatically  rotated  log  directory  in D/log/main.  The logs are owned by
       logacct.  The corresponding multilog(8) processes run under the uid and gid of logacct.  The name logacct
       must not contain any special characters.
