Eric, I think I may have it.. I had to review my hosts and resolv.conf filesthey looked a little screwy so I set them with typical settings with my domain infoI also took a closer look at my dns.I believe the real problem was in the host and resolv.conf files because it is moving sooooo much faster now.thanks On 01/25/2012 02:37 PM, Eric Shubert wrote:Are the 3 servers authoritative?It's generally a good practice to keep authoritative DNS servers separate from recursors. Of course it can be done, but it typically leads to problems.On 01/25/2012 01:31 PM, David wrote:Currently I have 3 DNS servers running here at the NOC and the mail server is on one of the slaves. I did a few dig commands and it seems to resolv the popular domain request like yahoo,google,msn,hotmail and others but I could not resolv mxtoolbox.com or freeside.biz Is there something wrong with the slave dns records?

Thanks Dave---------------------------------------------------------------------------------It's generally a good practice to run a DNS resolver (aka caching nameserver) directly on a QMT host, in which case you would have "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as the first line in your resolv.conf file (nameservers are tried in the sequence they're listed in this file). I personally only specify this and at most one other, since if the first one isn't working then your performance will suffer significantly due to timeouts. The easiest way I presently use is to install and use powerDNS's recursor: # yum install pdns-recursor # service pdns-recursor start # chkconfig pdns-recorsor onThat, along with the proper /etc/resolv.conf file, should get you going.To test, use the "dig" command: # dig qmailtoaster.com will show you which resolver was used to satisfy the request. dig is a very powerful too. "man dig" for details.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Qmailtoaster is sponsored by Vickers Consulting Group (www.vickersconsulting.com) Vickers Consulting Group offers Qmailtoaster support and installations.
