Hi, Recently I've tried to follow a few links in e-mails and news, to find the browser couldn't do so. At first I thought it was just the server being temporarily unavailable, but realised it's BIND. And it's all the BINDs that I have (the latest available using yum on FC4, FC5 & FC6). For example, doing a dig on eweek.com it takes ages and eventually fails. Conversely, doing a dig using my routers resolver, returns results almost instantly. I don't use it, however, for two reasons: I use internal DNS servers for the LAN, and my ISP's servers aren't always very good (don't ask me why, I'm not the one that manages them). Samples from different BIND servers and the router below. I wonder if anybody knows why, and whether they get the same effect for that address? There's about three addresses that I couldn't resolve, but that's the only one that I can remember, at the moment. -------------------------------- [tim@serge .gnupg]$ dig eweek.com ; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc3 <<>> eweek.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached -------------------------------- [tim@serge .gnupg]$ dig eweek.com @localhost ; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc3 <<>> eweek.com @localhost ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ------------------------------ [tim@serge .gnupg]$ dig eweek.com @server ; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc3 <<>> eweek.com @server ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ------------------------------ [tim@serge .gnupg]$ dig eweek.com @router ; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc3 <<>> eweek.com @router ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 17304 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;eweek.com.
