UDP is lossy, and it may take a nameserver longer to respond that the client resolver library is willing to wait; the fact that a nameserver didn't answer once isn't a sure sign that it won't answer other questions, or even that it won't answer the same question if you just wait a minute. On the other hand, if you make 100 queries and not hear anything back, perhaps it would be useful to log that information and possibly take action. -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
