Shows how to implement the good old ien 116 nameserver and how
to query it. It runs from the inetd. No need to have it waste
memory and cpu all the time.

Run an ien 116 nameserver at home and query it, using your
laptop. Next maintain your /etc/hosts

I hope your laptop reads /etc/hosts or the windows hosts file
before querying DNS. Mine do.

Except for the Mac there is no way short from a firewall to
convince your laptop to use another port than 53 for DNS.

But why not run your personal dns-server, bind or djbdns.
they both can use other ports than 53.


Kind regards
Peter and Karin
