You could configure forwarders. options { directory "/etc/namedb"; forwarders { aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd; }; }; in /etc/resolv.conf domain your.domain nameserver 127.0.0.1 Had to do many many (~600) DNS requests in a script and had a lame nameserver over network about 3-4 hops away. After configuring a local DNS server the script was much (!) faster. -- Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas http://www.freebsd.org/~fsmp/SMP/SMP.html powered by Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
