Hello,
It is for a web hosting service.

There is no traffic dome through the server from a private LAN only in
FROM the Internet!

What I have decided on at the minute is 4 tinyDNS instances one per
server that is currently registered 

Each tinydns will only have in it the zones applicable to it?

I can do that and it works fine!

What do I need the cache for? Im currently using our main name service
in /etc/resolv.conf for internal resolving?

Thanks theres some things im not 100% on yet

Robbie

R> Is this dnscachex or dnscache?

The name of the program is "dnscache".  "dnscachex" is a (somewhat 
confusing) shorthand coined by Dan Bernstein for "an instance of 
'dnscache' configured to listen on an IP address that is reachable 
by other machines".

R> /service/dnscache1/env/IP                      64.248.26.71
R> /service/dnscache2/env/IP                      64.248.26.72
R> /service/dnscache3/env/IP                      64.248.26.73
R> /service/dnscache4/env/IP                      64.248.26.74

You haven't explained why you think that you need four resolving 
proxy DNS servers in the first place.  It seems unlikely that you 
need a fifth one as well.  Nor have you explained why you think 
that they should be listening on an IP address that is reachable
by the whole of Internet.
