Hi ! I have a problem with delays in DNS lookup. I have a closed network with a windows2003 nameserver (xxx.yy.16.12) and have tried to setup a slaveserver (xxx.yy.16.15) on my FC3 server. If a have my slaveserver in /etc/resolv.conf i get problems with delays. If I do "ftp machine" i get a ~10 seconds delay before getting prompt from the ftp-server. If I do "ftp machine.mydomain.se" i get prompt instantly. Same for ssh/telnet/rsh. I can see in the logs and in the dns-files that machine exists. My /etc/nsswitch.conf: .. hosts: files dns .. My /etc/resolv.conf: search mydomain.se nameserver xxx.yy.16.12 nameserver xxx.yy.16.15 My /etc/named.conf (slightly edited to protect the innocent: // Default named.conf generated by install of bind-9.2.4-2 options { directory "/var/named"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; }; zone "mydomain.se" { type slave; file "slaves/mydomain.se.zone"; masters { xxx.yy.16.12 ; }; }; zone "yy.xxx.in-addr.arpa" { type slave; file "slaves/mydomain.se.rev.zone"; masters { xxx.yy.16.12 ; }; }; include "/etc/rndc.key"; Any suggestions ?
