[gentoo-user] Suddenly, ssh is slow to connect

2006-05-04 Thread Kevin O'Gorman
In the last few days, connection takes a minute or so to my gentoo box.
It used to be no longer than a namespace lookup.  It's not TCP, I think,
because connecting to apache is fast and my web pages bet served
as usual.

is UseDNS set to yes?  maybe that value changed, or for whatever reason your 
looksup are no longer working.  sounds like a dns timeout.

Hmmm.  I'll look, but I did just change domain registrars.  Maybe I've got a sluggish

nameserver.  But then, why would it continue to be slow when I do it a second time --

doesn't anybody cache resolutions any more?



Anyway, this gives me some stuff to look at.

sometimes my isp gives me a bad or stale dns server on dhcpnot often, but 
sometimes...go in and restart networking, and it fixes.

--UseDNS is on for ssh, not for ssh2 (where it does not even appear)

I found that one of the nameservers for my domain was down, and it was listed early.
I've edited the zone file; I'll see what happens when the change propagates to the
universe.
