DNS would provide a longer delay I would think. At least if it were unreachable. If DNS is unstable and not answering correctly (intermittently), then perhaps that's it. I'd check to see how lookups on the server respond (dig/nslookup) regardless. The default last I knew was 3 tries 5 seconds each.
OP - When you say 'site queries the server' do you mean code hitting the database? Meaning only when queries are made? Contradicting what you say prior about 'everything is running slowly'? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 2:48 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: RE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Speed My first guess would have been DNS... There are several directives to prevent Apache from doing DNS lookups.

Also, what speed is your hard drive. You probably shouldn't be running both of those with less than 256M of RAM.
