For using OpenDNS,should we use the instructions for Linux/Unix or for routers since the desktop is basically a machine on the private network while the router is the one which handles DNS addresses?
Here is how I did local DNS cache with OpenDNS.
Hope others find it helpful.
// File /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
options { ..... ..... forward first; forwarders { 208.67.222.222 ; 208.67.220.220 ; }; };
// OpenDNS redirects www.google.com to their own server // http://blog.opendns.com/2007/05/22/google-turns-the-page/ // I do NOT like it, so following stops/corrects it
zone "google.com" { type forward; forwarders { 216.239.32.10; 216.239.34.10; 216.239.36.10; 216.239.38.10; }; forward only; };
zone "l.google.com" { type forward; forwarders { 209.85.139.9; 64.233.179.9; 64.233.161.9; 66.249.93.9; 209.85.137.9; 72.14.235.9; 64.233.167.9; }; forward only; };
