I'm wondering if caching-nameserver will do the Caching DNS for me, if I use CentOS 3.x or 4.x. Also need the box to do Routing and Masquerading. Would that be done by IPTables? Or, if I shoud use dnscache, which is apparently much more secure than BIND, or something else, that is easier for a newbie to get configured properly. TIA! Lanny
