SYNOPSIS

17       tinydns [OPTIONS]

19

DESCRIPTION

21       tinydns  is a DNS server that answers DNS queries from other hosts with
22       locally configured information. When invoked, tinydns  reads  from  the
23       configuration  file  and  listens  on  UDP  port  53  for  the incoming
24       requests. When a request is received, tinydns  answers  it  by  looking
25       into  `data.cdb'  file placed under the ROOT directory specified in the
26       configuration file.
27
28       Until version 1.05.8, tinydns used to read  from  `data.cdb'  for  each
29       request  it  received  and  responded  to. From version 1.05.9, tinydns
30       reads `data.cdb' only ones at the beginning and  later  when  signalled
31       for the same via SIGUSR1.
