NAME

delphinusdnsd — the Delphinus DNS daemon

SYNOPSIS

delphinusdnsd

[-b address] [-c size] [-d] [-f file] [-i interface] [-l] [-n instances] [-p port] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

delphinusdnsd is the daemon that runs Delphinus DNS. The options are as follows:

-b address

Adds an address that delphinusdnsd should bind(2) to. This option can be repeated multiple times to add more. May not be used in conjunction with -i.

-c size Specifies a size in bytes for the SYSV shared memory cache that DB4 is using.

-d Turn on debug mode. delphinusdnsd does not fork into the background with this. Messages are printed in the foreground.

-f file

The configuration file to be used is found at file.

-i interface

The particular interface that delphinusdnsd should listen on. This option can be specified multiple times. May not be used in conjunction with -b.

-l

Turn logging of queries on.

-n instances is the number of instances plus one that should be forked for delphinusdnsd. This may be good for multi-cpu/core boxes.

-p port

Specifies the port that delphinusdnsd should listen on. This can be useful when using delphinusdnsd with pf(4)

-v

Be more verbose in debug mode. This shows configfile parsing logic.
