[NTLUG:Discuss] djbdns - dnscache not working

[Brian]

Jose--

Have you checked your logs?

less /service/log/main/current

Have you tried running dig with a specific server?

dig @127.0.0.1 yahoo.com

Can you connect to the daemon?

telnet 127.0.0.1 53

Is this a RedHat-specific RPM?  Avoid these like the plague.  There's no telling
what RH has done with the source code (without a lot of work on your part).   Try
compiling the source directly from DJB's site.  

The readproctitle service errors are normal:
