Description: DNS cache - tool for finding addresses of Internet hosts
When a browser wants to contact www.debian.org, it first asks a DNS
cache, such as dnscache, to find the IP address of www.debian.org.
.
Internet service providers run dnscache to find IP addresses
requested by their customers. If you're running a home computer
or a workstation, you can run your own dnscache to speed up your web
browsing.
