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).
Has anyone seen a fix for this? Even though my dns server can resolve
eweek.com, It can't resolve "e.staples-deals.com".
Ever since I ran bind on redhat 7.3, it has never resolved that domain name
for me:
# dig e.staples-deals.com @mydnsserver
results in a status: SERVFAIL
# dig e.staples-deals.com @myrouter
results are good!!
These are indeed weird results. I'm currently running FC6 and I have the
same exact problem as when I had it with RH 7.3.
Any ideas on how to track this down?
