To answer #1, in nslookup, "set timeout=X" to number of seconds you want.
However, the timeout you're getting is most likely because you don't have a
reverse lookup zone. Two seconds is generally plenty of time for a
response.
for #3, is that server your secondary DNS?

The following is the output from a NSLOOKUP query.
X:\>nslookup 198.133.219.25
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.2.12: Timed out
Server: res1.ns.digex.net
Address: 206.205.242.132
Name: www.cisco.com
Address: 198.133.219.25
My questions are:
1. Why is DNS timing out after 2 seconds & where is the timeout value
configured
2. What do I need to do so I don't get the "Can't find server name for
address 192.168.2.12?" (Note 192.168.2.12 is my primary DNS server)
3. Why is my system using res1.ns.digex.net as the name server? I
don't
see where I have that configured in my system?
Thanks much,
Steve
