I run a local nameserver so that I can reach the other machines on my network by name. After upgrading to FC3 from RedHat 9, I'm finding frequent cases where a DNS lookup fails, but doing it again immediately works. This has two major consequences: - email going out from my mailing lists works intermittently for some people - the "wget --spider" I run every hour to check that my web site hosted on another system frequently reports that the other system is down, even though another check immediately afterwards works. My web host support people think that's because the TTL is quite low on their systems, and once the entry has expired from the cache it might take too long to fetch the new one. Is there a way to make my nameserver try twice or wait longer for a response? Or is this likely a problem with my ISP's name servers which I have listed as "forwarders"? -- "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Teddy Roosevelt
