From Gentoo Linux Wiki
Dont you think it is about time to start working on this or take your name off of it so others can feel free to post the HOWTO on it.
It is a wiki.. add to it anytime you want.

[edit] RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP
Can someone explain to me why one should put RC_PARALLEL_STARTUP="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc ? --Moomoo 17:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Just to make your computer startup faster. This has nothing to do with DJBDNS at all and should be removed from the instructions IMO. --Bobpaul 04:11, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
I agree and therefore removed the section. --213.157.1.14 11:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Masked?
milly # emerge djbdns
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "djbdns" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r9 (masked by: ~ppc keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r8 (masked by: ~ppc keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r3 (masked by: missing keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r7 (masked by: ~ppc keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r14 (masked by: missing keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r11 (masked by: missing keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r10 (masked by: missing keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r13 (masked by: missing keyword)
- net-dns/djbdns-1.05-r12 (masked by: missing keyword)
Funny to read this installation guide as I read the above when I try to install. Am I doing something wrong? Or should I just go with Bind?
Unmask it then? Unmasking packages is a basic Gentoo/Portage task, out of the scope of this document. You may want to check this howto on the correct usage of Portage. --Tam 15:18, 9 Jun 2005 (GMT)
The page you point to says nothing about unmasking when confronted by "masked by: missing keyword". RTFM does not, at first look, seem to solve this problem. --70.49.174.237 22:49, 29 August 2005 (GMT)
I landed on this page after googling for "masked by: missing keyword". I agree that the FM does not cover this at all. I've been through emerge and portage man pages and tried what they said. Also tried the above mentioned docs - the method mentioned there always yields "invalid atom". Been at it for hours. Nothing works. I'm just gonna download a non-gentoo sourceball and compile that, much easier than trying to install a Gentoo test ebuild. Gah. --me
[edit] masked by: missing keyword
Unmasking packages without keywords (e.g. those from overlays like beryl-settings-bindings-9999) can be achieved by adding it to /etc/portage/package.keywords with the "-*" mark after the package name.
Note: IT IS NOT A TILDE (~), IT'S A DASH (-)!!!
Example:
=x11-misc/beryl-settings-bindings-9999 -*

[edit] Article direction
I think the edit of 15:39, 3 Apr 2005, while providing good contents, has made this article a bit too specialized on a particular DNS server setup. Trying to bring it back to more general instructions. --Tam 16:06, 9 Jun 2005 (GMT)
I'm curious if you use the outside or inside ip address for this stuff...
I made quite a few edits at the time -- and after having to setup an Internal DNS server, as well as setting up some completely external servers, I agree, it was too specific to a particular DNS server setup. I made quite a few changes in the beginning under the Basics and setup for the two types of DNS server usage that I've run into. --SeeBQ 20:46, 6 March 2006 (GMT)
[edit] Split?
Should this page be split between a dnscache and an authority dns server? It seems a little confusing at the moment as to which sections apply to which (or both) components. Masterdriverz:Talk 15:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Agreed thoroughly. Can anyone do this? It's to unclear for me to see what's part of what. The page itself doesn't need a split into two pages, but the article needs some categorization and sub-sections. --Tulcod 20:00, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Confusing definition
"public address such as 192.168.0.254" is clearly not a public address, but a non-routable private address. Or is public in this case just mean accessible by other machines (ie, not a 127.x.x.x address?) --Bobpaul 04:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
