If these types of outages are common, you should establish some Brazil-wide root domian name servers, and use them as the roots instead of the Internic-published ones. A root server only has a few hundred zones in it, and can be served by just about any ordinary desktop-class PC. -- -russ nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://russnelson.com Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | Tornadoes, earthquakes, 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | hurricanes and government: Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | uncontrollable forces

Re: qmail goes down when my international backbone goes down
Why DNS? For two years, qmail works very well. This problem appear when my back bone goes down and my router doesn't have the international routes. It has the domestic routes, but nothing out of Brazil. -Original Message- From: Russell Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Segunda-feira, 24 de Julho de 2000 19:53 Subject: Re: qmail goes down when my international backbone goes down >Luis Bezerra writes: > > In Brazil, when my backbone goes down(EMBRATEL), my qmail MTA > > doesn't send any messages. > >Sounds like a DNS problem.
