29 Well, tinydns must be bound to a different address than dnscache.
30
31 If I do a dig @<tinydns ip address> server1.linux.com it responds with
32 the correct address.
33
34 However, if I put the dnscache IP address in my /etc/resolv.conf,
35 resolution to *any* IP address (including server1.linux.com and
36 server2.linux.com) fails.
37
38 Thoughts?
