Oh, and I have probably found out why nobody's using it. It isn't really 
capable of being a real local DNS cache. At least from how I interpret the 
documentation. So I think I'll drop this idea and try to find something else 
and put it in contrib... or just use plain old bind, like everyone else 
does :-)

the other hand there are more important things to take care of right now.
