hi all, i just installed red hat linux 6.0 on my system ... now i was trying to configure the caching-only dns. ( as it takes quite long to get the prompt when i telnet from other machine on the network ) for that i edited the /etc/named.conf file and added zone "5.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "named.192.168.5"; }; then i created the file /var/named/named.192.168.5 and put in the related hostname and domain name etc .. finally i restarted the named : /etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart still when i telnet 192.168.5.3 from my windows machine on the network, it takes over 60 secounds to show the prompy please guide me as to how to correct this... thanks a tonne, regards, gaurav - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
