I've configured a DNS on my FreeBSD machine using the information from the Pedantic PPP tutorial on the freebsd.org server. My system closely resembles the system described there (three win98 boxes and the FreeBSD machine). I've cross referenced with Greg Lehey's descriptions as well. When I was just using /etc/hosts connection with telnet was almost transparent but now with DNS it takes about two minutes. I've checked for the trailing '.' on each entry and checked to be sure everything matches the tutorial and in essence Greg's description. I'm also running Apache and there is no delay getting a webpage - only the telnet. Once connected everything is fine. Is there something I can do about this or is this the nature of the DNS? Thankyou, Greg Martin. gregm@netidea.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
