Hi Kris + others :)
just thought i may be able to help - i had the same problem with named -
for
some reason whenever i connected to my isp, the modem went nuts sending so
much traffic out to the 'net that the box became pretty much unusable -
this
was on a compile of 3.3-STABLE. Have a look at your
/etc/namedb/named.conf - specifically :
<snip>
// If you've got a DNS server around at your upstream provider, enter
// its IP address here, and enable the line below. This will make you
// benefit from its cache, thus reduce overall DNS traffic in the Internet.
forwarders {
203.11.90.1;
203.11.90.240;
127.0.0.1;
};
<endsnip>
From memory, the problem ended up coming from the forwarders line. If you
place the localhost 127.0.0.1 entry above your ISP's this seems to occur.
Make sure that you have the DNS server of your ISP ahead of localhost. Ive
been using it like this for a few months with no problems
Hope this helps
G.
