[bk@rt.fm: Re: ot? djbdns question]

Brian (who has the coolest email address I know) has corrected me; it
does *not* take two computers to run both tinydns and dnscache.

Which is good.

Thank you Brian. :)

If you care about the authorative bit on DNS replies, run tinydns on
one IP and dnscache on another.  (This is one of several solutions.)

If you don't care about the authorative bit, setup dnscache on an
external IP and tinydns on a loopback or dummy IP and have dnscache
selectively query the private tinydns.
