Two questions/thoughts.
I am running diald on RH 6.0 and named on a seperate slakware 4
machine. I also have 2 Windoze 98 machines on my network, and I am
running sambe on both linux boxes. From time to time, my DNS seems to
be looking up something, and seems to become totally caught up in doing
that. (watching the connection Que in dctrl, I can see that it is
continually asking every server in hints, over and over again) My
thoughts here are that it may be related to netbios lookups. so here we
go.
1) can my DNS be set up to handle netbios lookups - athouratatively,
and if so how? That may solve part to the problem.
2) when a DNS request is what brings up the link... if I have my home
page set to my local network, could I bypass the dns problem by having a
link in my home page go to an outside server by ip address (say my home
directory on my ISP)? That way DNS shouldn't be needed?
Thanks
