Re: No nxdomain answer

Hi Sergey,

I assume you're probably thinking that tinydns does the same thing as 
BIND does: acting as both an authoritive nameserver _and_ a caching 
nameserver at the same time.

That's not what it does. tinydns is only an authoritive nameserver. You 
will need djbdns' dnscache to setup a caching nameserver. See [1].
