Dumb Caching Name Server For AmiTCP
-----------------------------------
Here it is, a dumb name server for AmiTCP for simple LAN usage.  It
processes name server queries out of the host table the machine it is
running on or or by forwarding requests to your uplink name server (it does
a simple gethostbyname() internally).  Succesfull requests are cached in
the file "AmiTCP:db/nameserver.db" for up to 90 days.  It uses a hashing
algorithm for fast lookup.

Installation:

 1. copy NameD to AmiTCP:Serv/

 2. add the following lines to AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf:

    # AmiTCP nameserver
    nameserver dgram udp wait root amitcp:serv/named

 3. make sure resolv.conf of your nameserver host points
    to your uplink's name server.

 4. change AmiTCP:db/resolv.conf of all your LAN machines
    to query the host the name server is running on
    (NAMESERVER=<ip-address of your nameserver host>).
    No more need for local host tables, then.

Notes:

- You can delete the cache file at any time to recreate the data base
  from scratch. Entries will time out after 90 days and will be reread
  then.

- the included executable is compiled for 68030 CPUs. You will have to
  recompile it if you want to run it on 68000 machines.
