Hi,
Saw your message in the list, Was wondering if you made any head-way with it?
Did you manage to solve your issues?
Did you find out what sort of tweaks were needed?

Thank you again Paul.
Why are you forwarding DNS queries to your ISP's nameservers rather
than
having your bind look them up itself? I find that running my own
nameserver
works much better than forwarding all queries to my ISP.
That is a very good question. I thought, my ISP server would handle
queries
better and more up to date in terms of root name servers information. Maybe, I was wrong. Well, i'll take your suggestion now to switch to my own DNS server. But
one
more thing, is there a major bug in the BIND version that comes with
RedHat
9? I noticed that, we cannot stop it with 'service named stop'; I had to do 'killall named'.
Thank you very much. How about Squid? Any suggestions on its default options tweak?

I had the same problem, I configured one machine as a cache nameserver,
and
the other machines uses it as the nameserver. Internet surfing is fast
now. I
found out that resolving names using ISP DNS takes a long time and that it times out a lot and squid was not the problem. Try to use tcpdump to see
what
is happening.
