My system is connecting to the net, but nscd doesn't seem to be |
| 7 |
caching DNS requests. |

Yes, I did "rc-update add nscd default" and "/etc/init.d/nscd start". |
| 10 |
But "ping -c 4 google.com" sends traffic to 192.168.123.254 port 53 |
| 11 |
each time, even if only 30 seconds apart. This was confirmed by running |
| 12 |
"tcpdump -n dst port 53" in another console and watching the output. |

/etc/resolv.conf has only one line, which points at my combo ADSL |
| 15 |
router/modem that gets its DNS IP addresses from the PPPOE negotiation. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
nameserver 192.168.123.254 |

The un-commented portion of /etc/nscd.conf is like so |
| 21 |
enable-cache hosts yes |
| 22 |
positive-time-to-live hosts 3600 |
| 23 |
negative-time-to-live hosts 20 |
| 24 |
suggested-size hosts 211 |
| 25 |
check-files hosts yes |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
...and /etc/nsswitch.conf says... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
# /etc/nsswitch.conf: |
