OS: FreeBSD 2.1 (Walnut Creek CDROM) System: Asus MB, Cyrix 166+ I'm noticing some strange domain name resolving characteristics on my 2.1 system depending on the configuration I use when booting the system. I've been unable to determine an explanation for any of it and would like input from anyone with experience in networking. The problem that I am seeing is that if I access my ppp dial up account with JUST the pppd daemon, my nslookups are noticably delayed compared to when I run pppd with the tun0 device configured. When I have tun0 configured in /etc/sysconfig, my nslookups occur almost instantaneously from the time I press the return key. Without tun0 configured in /etc/sysconfig, there is a 5 to 7 second delay (no activity on console or modem) before packets start going out to the 'net' for DNS resolution. It still works, but it's a rather aggravating delay period. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
