[Lilux-help] my DNS is tired...

Hi all, I remember a discussion here about slow DNS for P&T. I am experiencing something similar with Visual Online, although I cannot say for sure if it's their problem or mine. This is one sample query caught by Ethereal: Time Source Destination Protocol Info 24.107756 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.1 DNS Standard query A www.athome.lu 29.115471 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.1 DNS Standard query A www.athome.lu 34.125519 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.1 DNS Standard query A www.athome.lu 39.135464 192.168.1.8 192.168.1.1 DNS Standard query A www.athome.lu 39.165492 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.8 DNS Standard query response A 80.92.67.138 So it means it took 15 seconds and 3 retransmissions for a DNS query to get an answer. BTW, 192.168.1.8 is the PC, and 192.168.1.1 is the router which forwards to VO's DNS. This behavious is not systematic, but fairly regular (and extremely annoying). There's 3 candidates: -1- the PC here's what resolv.conf says: nameserver 192.168.1.1 -2- the router I am unable to find anything in the logs, and I haven't changed anything on that level except disable the RIP protocol. -3- the DNS not sure which one I use, as the router gets this information somehow from VO - however, I have been unable to find any DNS specific setting in the router. In the "LAN" tab, it says 0.0.0.0 for both the primary and the secondary DNS server. Any clues appreciated. -pu
