#38 Windows Service support & generic resolv.conf

2014-01-18T02:08:16.703000Z

since i travel to fix ppl's laptops / servers etc. having to flush out the dns is often on my laptop but when i do , it takes too long to get gmail or etc.
hopefully getting this set up as my own loacal cashe dns server service would and making locality-resolf.conf , and or where needed use the local dns + google's pub dns etc.
when at home the resolver would be quicker since a db is being built , on the road with Shite wifi.... best off I wont have to keep mucking with dns's via wifi card or etc.

I was hoping to speed up dns , resolutions , and make a few location based profiles...

unfortunately the zone editor , dosent have a local zone per-sey with a dns-cashe & dns resolver profile and cnames etc. for a loacl lan profile. and bit much perhaps.

Windows Service support & generic resolv.conf

2014-01-18T01:58:46.091000Z

http://posadis.sourceforge.net/docs/tutorial/cache.html
here it shows a services tab, however on windows 7 not an option to run or etc.

resolv.conf or home.resolv.conf
Myoffice or mywork.resolf.conf..... my cousins.resolf.conf simple location aware files.
IE know router ip etc.
if 10.0.0.1 (or router gw) & macaddress =foo
then use=Nameserver(s) for making more commonly used locations faster ...
nameserver 2001:558:FEED::1 #Comcast nat'nl any cast
nameserver 2001:558:FEED::2 #Comcast nat'nl any cast
nameserver 75.75.75.75 #Comcast nat'nl any cast
nameserver 75.75.76.76 #Comcast nat'nl any cast

in the end I hate microsofts dns-cahshe server ...
and often it will dump external dns servers in favor of the router's ip as dns. despite pushing via dhcp the main . or dns flush will drop my preferred Comcast , Google-public dns ,
and HE.net (ipv6 tunnel broker provider) especially over my wifi connection.and general causing grief.

though not really an issue with Posadis per say if having use on a laptop to speed up dns results from commonly used websites even in remote locations in turn having known dns servers would in turn speed up Posadis......

just a though , because then one doesn't have to do them in main config files , and make it easier as well. especially if one moves from home to office or university etc or client locations, when one returns it will be back to those preferred dns servers to speed up things.

and even at the simplest, the basic resolv.conf file format is rather simple.
just a though. on Linux it's not such a big deal, on windows laptops it could be a real plus...

[0.60.5] crash on lookup with antivirus software

2004-12-15T17:01:33Z

See this forum topic:
http://www.posadis.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=603

I managed to trace back the problem to the fact that
the Nod32 (http://www.nod32.com/) anti-virus software
was installed.

Symptoms:
Posadis crashes when looking up certain domain names
(e.g., www.google.nl causes a cash, whereas
www.posadis.org doesn't)

Workarounds:
* Disabling TCP operation (e.g. with "listen udp/any")
seems to make Posadis stop crashing
* Uninstalling Nod32 also stops the crashes

does not compile on OpenBSD

Hi,

poslib-1.0.5 does not compile on OpenBSD 3.5 on SPARC 64.
It fails with

Adding a -pthread to the c++ call gives succes.
