Oddly though, on one the boxes, here, it never returns an answer quicker than 60 odd milliseconds. At one stage, I noticed that it was quicker to query another box than use the DNS server on itself. This is the slower box, today: dig google.com.au (querying itself) ;; Query time: 420 msec (first query) ;; Query time: 66 msec (subsequent query) dig google.com.au @192.168.1.4 (querying a different PC) ;; Query time: 862 msec (first query) ;; Query time: 63 msec (subsequent query) -- (Currently running FC4, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
