Sure I could route dns queries out through a ssh tunnel but the latency makes this kind of thing unusable at times.
instead of an ssh tunnel, how about simple port forwarding? /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1 And then whatever it takes to forward 127.0.0.1:53 to a dns that is listing on some other port? hmm, I think running a local caching dns was mentioned, but the parts that may have been un-verified: man named -p port Listen for queries on port port. If not specified, the default is port 53. man named.conf everywhere there is an address, there is also the option to specify port: ( ipv4_address | * ) [ port ( integer | * ) ] Carl K
