Hi ,
I have configured BIND on my RH7.2 machine and its working fine.
Now here comes the strange part.
WITHOUT DNS: Login prompt < 1 sec ( approximate)
WITH DNS: Login prompt < 10 sec ( approximate)
___________________________________________________
If i telnet to this machine it takes a whole 10 seconds to get the
login prompt( from telnet,ftp) after i configure BIND on the linux box.
I checked and confirmed IDENTD was not running.
/etc/resolv.conf contents :
nameserver <ip of my lin box>
domain mydomain.com
/etc/nsswitch.conf contents:
hosts: dns files nisplus
/etc/host.conf contents :
order bind,hosts
I did telnet on my lin box after disabling named and making appro changes to the above mentioned files and LO! i was able to get the login screen in < 1 sec!!!
No firewall present on my box.
DNS is working fine as i did nslookup and was able to resolve by host name and domain name ( yeh i removed entries from the hosts file !)
Can anyone suggest what can possibly be wrong ?
Regard,
Xanthium.
