Description

DNS lookups can be cached persistently by a local proxy service, so repeated name queries may still work faster or remain available in configured environments. It is useful for administrators who need controlled DNS caching on a machine or small network.

It runs in the background and affects how names resolve. Upstream DNS servers, cache behavior, privacy expectations, and network exposure should be reviewed before enabling it.
