[NTLUG:Discuss] IPMasquerading - ppp

[Richard Humphrey]

You can run a caching nameserver that caches all of the DNS requests that
are made from your network and saves them locally so that it can check the
local dns cache first and effectively speed up requests. I am sure there is
more to it than that, but that is the gist of it. Someone feel free to
expound on that if necessary as I am no expert. Are the DNS settings on both
machines the same?
