The manual is too vague on the DNS proxy.
I am running on Centos. On the Centos list I was told to gte DJB's
source and install that to get daemontools.
I updated the manual a bit. You can run the dnsproxy as a stand-alone
application. The djb stuff is optional (to speed up the dnsproxy).
Do you mean the manual is updated on infrahip.hiit.fi or in the
hipl--userspace--2.6/doc directory?
If the later, I can't open either the index.html or the HOWTO.xml. I get
errors on both.
I have requested Antti to clear the manual on djb installation when he
is back at work.
Well if I don't need it to test it, I can wait!
There is the djbdns-1.05 directory but even I am not sure yet what do
with it.
Wow! Considering the referenced URL (cr.yp.to/daemontools.html) points
to ver 0.76!
But what, in more detail, do I do here. Once I get the tools
installed (itself a challenge), what is involved in the DNSproxy
script working with, for now, /etc/hosts and /etc/hip/hosts?
The basic way to run it is like this:
sudo dnsproxy
Since I am logged in as root, I tried this without sudo, and got command
not found. Located it, kind of, at /usr/local/sbin/dnsproxy.py
I ran that and got errors:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/sbin/dnsproxy.py, line 10, in ?
import DNS
ImportError: No module named DNS
There are many options for it, but most importantly:
-k option kills existing options
-b starts it on background
If dnsproxy complains about bind(), you have started another dnsproxy
already or you running bind or dnsmasq on the host and have to kill
the other process.
Dnsproxy currently can handle HITs from hosts files. LSI support and
DNS support are work in progress.
