I'm having users complain that they can't open certain web pages..
and after checking into things.. it seems the authoritative are
doing something w/ dns that dnscache doesn't like or understand.
Old news. dnscache is insufficiently robust in chasing legal but
complicated DNS chains such as those used by Akamai. DJB has refused to
address the issue, claiming that despite the fact that Akamai-hosted

BIND, MS-DNS, maradns, nominum CNS, and powerdns, there is nothing wrong
with dnscache and its inability to follow these chains is not a problem.

It's probably worth noting that Jeremy Hinton came up with two options
for how to get better performance out of dnscache:
