What happens when you use dig @$DNS www.google.com.au, etc from another machine on the local network? Your DNS server indeed does seem very local. However, ping times measure network latency from one kernel to the other, not taking into account the application, daemon, etc that's running the service you're trying to connect to (DNS, in this case). While it's probably not the problem, it's quite possible your upstream DNS server could be having some issues returning records. dig will tell you how long it takes to return the record. With that being said, there are some known issues with DNS (especially failure between servers) in uClibc. These are pretty well established and we've known about them for some time, the problem is, you can't just upgrade the C library whenever you feel like it :). We have some plans to upgrade to the latest uClibc (0.9.30), I believe, in trunk. I haven't looked at any Changelogs yet but I'm hoping newer versions will have a more robust resolver. -- Kristian Kielhofner http://blog.krisk.org http://www.submityoursip.com http://www.astlinux.org http://www.star2star.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list Astlinux-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
