  and then, as root, run named.  (I run it in the ppp-up script and kill it

OK, so you are referring to those who run Lynx on their own Linux
or Un*x box with a dialup PPP connection.  That was not what I
imagined when you said "dialup user."  I thought "dialup user"
means someone like me who dials into a shell and runs Lynx there
-- but these users can't take this DNS caching dodge.
