I'm not 100% sure I understand you here. You seem to think that forwarding DNS requests should not cause DNS to trigger a dial. This would only be true if your forwarders did not require a dial to reach. I don't understand your concern with the fact that it dials on startup. Do you start and stop the DNS server a lot? If you really need it to stop, add suppress-initial-notify to yes. See if that helps. Hope I've said something here that is helpful. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Bill Moran" <wmoran@potentialtech.com> > To: "DJ Boris" <dj_boris@mail.ru> > Cc: "freebsd-questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 4:53 PM > Subject: Re: how can I stop named to dial out at startup > > > >>DJ Boris wrote: >> >>>hi there, >>> >>>I use named to only forward dns requests (if any). every time I start it >>>(manually from the command line) it dials out. then the ppp times out > > after > >>>3 mins, connection gets dropped and everything geos back to normal. as > > soon > >>>as a dns request arrives ppp kicks in.. and so on and so on. >>> >>>in named.conf I have forward only and have set forwarders. so everything > > is > >>>OK but just that initial dial out at start up is annoying me. >>> >>>i have read named.conf manual and there is says that you can put "dialup >>>yes" have done that but no luck and I think this option is more for > > proper > >>>dns and doesn't apply to dns forwarding >> >>Did you put the "dialup yes" as a global option?
