Please add the FreeBSD usage instructions

See original GitHub issue

You should include the FreeBSD usage section: It is recommended that DNS requests are cached using nscd(8).

Enable nscd daemon with the command:

# sysrc nscd_enable="YES""

Start nscd daemon with the command:

# service nscd start

Enable nscd DNS cache by changing the “hosts” line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to: ‘hosts: cache files dns’

Hi, I just tried this on my FreeBSD 11.1 box and it appears to work. I manually added the line nscd_enable="YES" to my /etc/rc.conf file rather than use the sysrc utility. That is just personal preference I think. My only comment on the whole method is that using nscd at all is optional. It will improve performance by caching the results of /etc/hosts but I think this is going to be of marginal benefit for my usage scenario.
