=head1 NAME

desproxy-dns - DNS for dynamic connections

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   desproxy-dns dns_server proxy_host proxy_port

=head1 OPTIONS

None

=head1 DESCRIPTION

If you have direct DNS access then you don't need to do anything else.
You know you have direct DNS access if you can resolve host names to
IP addresses.

NOTE: as desproxy-dns listens in port 53 (which is less than 1024) you
may need administrator privileges to exec desproxy-dns (in fact if you
are running UN*X, you actually have to run desproxy-dns as root).

OK, so you have a dns server accessible now. But your computer doesn't
know anything about that. You must configure your network accordingly
(again, need to be root in UN*X).

Edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the line "nameserver 127.0.0.1". You
don't have to restart anything. Just test ping and see if it works.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

None.

=head1 FILES

None.

=head1 SEE ALSO

dnsproxy(1), ping(1)
