Hi, I'm really happy my MTA is working well, now I just want to tweak these last couple details.
I'm fairly new to bind, and I notice considreable delays while sending local mail (30s) and remote mail (60s) when I'm not connected to the 'net (my isp's nameservers aren't reachable) which I'd like to reduce to a more reasonable amount, or preferably eliminate. Further, these delays cause my X-win video to not be redrawn, and I can't click anything while this is happening, although I can change to another VT. Is there anyway to "deactivate" bind when I'm not connected to the 'net? My configuration, derived from bindconfig, is "forward-only". My syslog shows named is running, purging it's cached RR's, et.al., and I'm not getting any errors. I see the /var/named/boot.options file, and I've read the /usr/doc/bin/manual/options.html, but alas I'm not sure what param(s) I should set. I'm really happy my MTA is working well, now I just want to tweak these last couple details. Thanks for any ideas you can lend. --
