Really? Where is this cache?
- mcpherrinm 13y agoOn Linux, this is typically nscd(8): Name service cache daemon. I believe some Linux distributions also ship with dnsmasq listening on localhost that serves a similar purpose. Most home routers I've used also use dnsmasq.
- noja 13y agoBut the article says assume no caching, so I'm guessing nscd is off. He seems to be referring to another local cache, which I don't think exists.
