      Hello!
      Since i’m using the Spotify-Module, I see over 1.000 DNS-queries per 10 minutes to api.spotify.com from my mirror in pi-hole.
      Is there a way to turn on dns-caching in raspbian, so that the module doesn’t have to ask my DNS server every second?
      Thanks!

        @DigiTalk - By default, Rasbian and other Debian flavors do not cache DNS information.

        A quick Google search points me towards NSCD, which you can install with sudo apt-get install nscd. I would recommend having a look at this blog post which contains some useful information on configuring it.

          Wonderful, this worked like a charm!
          Thank you so much!

          I tried searching google, too.
          But the only info I found was on how to set up your own DNS server - which I alread had with pi-hole.
          You seem to have used a significatly better choice of search-words.

            @DigiTalk - Heh. It was mostly serendipity. I had to look up DNS caching as part of my work with remotely accessing mirrors.
