I am using a PM3 from livingston for my access server. The P100 has 48 megs RAM. My question is...is a P100 fast enough if DNS is all this box is really doing? Reason I'm asking...some of my users are getting "error getting address for xxx.xxxx.xxx" for my own mail server! they can try again a second time and everything is fine. The ones who complain the most are the people with 14.4s. Anyone seen this problem. Where should I look? DNS box, DNS NIC, or ethernet itself. I also notice that a "pmwho" will sometimes not resolve reverse addresses either, then a second pull will have the names listed.
