I am using pdnsd as a local cacheing from a sugestion from Russell Coker, this turned out to be a real excellent sugestion as it sped up page loading no end (this was on dialup).
I'm sure it would -- just from the caching. However, FWIW, you can do better still, by running a recursive nameserver such as Unbound. pdnsd is terrific for what it is, but it's ultimately just a small caching forwarder with no intelligence of its own. http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html#pdnsd http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html#unbound To explain and disambiguate the type of DNS software: http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2008q3/006880.html http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/sf-lug/2008q3/005293.html
