Hello,
You say it is occuring only sometimes.
Could it be possible that the router is about to connect to the Internet
while your computer tries to resolve this address?
Look at connection timeout in the router config.
Another possibilty would be to configure the DNS server directly on your
computer (so it does not use the DNS relay of the router).
The DNS servers of VO should be:
80.90.44.25
80.90.45.15
Try this.
Cu,
Michel

Is that a hardware router or a Linux box?
Those 15 seconds certainly are not normal.
It is a Zyxel 650HW.
I just tried here with the same request (I'm
on P&T ADSL):
192.168.1.5 (my work PC):
i.e. the reply was instantaneous. The resolver configured on this
machine is 192.168.1.1, which is my own router (Linux PC) with it's
own bind9. No, that host wasn't in cache, as I certainly didn't
visit www.athome.lu today (and probably not anytime in ages, if
ever).
I just had a few tries, response time was 0.03-0.14 seconds. As I said, it
is not systematic, just kinda frequent.
On the external interface of the router it looks
like this:
As I have a HW router, I am unable to see what is happening there :-(
What kind of router? Firmware? Just in case
there's anything to
be found about that particular model...
ZyNOS F/W Version: V3.40(IT.4) | 11/20/2003
DSL FW Version: Alcatel, Version 4.9.10
You could possibly try to manually enter DNS
resolvers into the
router config? Those from VO certainly, those from P&T are also
accessible from the outside: 194.154.192.101 and 194.154.192.102
I also thought about caching DNS locally, with dnsmasq
(http://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) for example. Not a solution
for seldomly used names, but at least for the frequent ones. pop.vo.lu is
a good candidate, it also sometimes takes ages to be resolved (although
Korn is looking it up every 5 minutes).
Thanks,
