NAME

rebound — DNS proxy

SYNOPSIS

rebound

[-d] [-c config] [-l address]

DESCRIPTION

The rebound daemon proxies and caches DNS requests. It listens by default on localhost and forwards queries to another server. If sent a SIGUSR1 signal, rebound logs statistics to /var/log/daemon. The options are as follows:

 

 

-c config

Specify an alternative configuration file, instead of the default /etc/resolv.conf. rebound will reload the configuration file when sent a SIGHUP signal or when the file changes. Only the nameserver option is used to indicate the next server to contact. Localhost entries will be skipped.

 

 

-d

Debug mode. rebound does not fork(2) into the background.

 

 

-l address

Listen for connections by binding to address, an IP specified in dotted quad notation, instead of the default of localhost.

FILES

/etc/resolv.conf

Default rebound configuration file.

SEE ALSO

resolv.conf(5), unbound(8)

HISTORY

The rebound daemon first appeared in OpenBSD 5.9.
