Thanks for keeping an eye on the OpenBSD list and keeping it from
getting too tainted with personal opinion ;-)

I'm running a StarBand two way satellite connection to my home LAN
through an OpenBSD 2.8 box doing ipf and nat. I was looking for a way
to cut down the DNS traffic traveling 45,000 miles to the DNS servers
and 45,000 miles back, so I figured running some sort of name server
on my OpenBSD box would be a good answer.

Any insight you could offer would be appreciated.

Thanks,
