Isn't that cool?

And now that you run a DNS server, you can actually host DNS internally for all your systems.

One of the advantages is that redundant lookups are in cache on your local DNS server and don't have to transit out to the net.

So it can speed things up on congested links if the cache data is available already.

Neato.

And RPZ's are cool.

yea... DNS can be fun.

Glad it's working for ya.
