that's the weird thing dns seems to be working fine on the rh72 box and i can telnet/ftp into that machine with no problems the laggy machine can telnet/ftp into the nameserver quickly as well it's only when i'm trying to go into the rh62 box that i start getting long timeouts.
i don't have a firewall since all the machines in the office are already behind one. we're all using 192.168.x.x ips. so there's no rule changes there. dns (bind9) doesn't have a slave running since i don't know how to do that yet... could that be a problem?
