I think the ping times weren't too bad, but tomorrow I can write it down and let ya know. Access between the MS machines seem to be a bit slow to, that's why I was wondering if it was actually my DNS server or the whole network in general. There's a few clients using the network to access the AS/400, but I don't think that will cause that much traffic to slow things down. I am pretty sure my DNS is working. I believe that it is because I can telnet to shell.foo.com and actualy get access. I have "shell" set as a CNAME. I also have "ftp" and "www" set as a CNAME. They all get resolved but it takes time. So I assume that the DNS server is working correctly. I don't have anything but the default (what got set in sysinstall) in the hosts table, so I assume that it's not resorting to that. I also don't have a resolv.conf file. I figured I don't need it since I'm running my own DNS. It might just as well be a half ass networking job that I did. Hell for my first network, it's not so bad. :) Luckily my Boss let's me experiment all in the name of Research and Development. :) Thanks for the help and ideas, Joey Garcia PS Have you read Microtimes lately? :) > ---------- > > From: Joey Garcia > > To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Slow DNS > > Date: Wednesday, 10 March 1999 03:00 PM > > > > Okay, so I set up a DNS (Telnet, FTP, and Web server too) at work. > > Running FreeBSD 2.2.6 Release on a Pentium 133 with 32 megs of ram and a > > 10Mbs Etherlink III card.
