Re: Slow DNS Lookup (4TH POSTING)

Sorry about the size of this....but here's my config files:

named.conf:

options {
        directory "/var/cache/bind";

        // If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
        // to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
        // directive below.  Previous versions of BIND always asked
        // questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 and later use an
unprivileged
        // port by default.

        // query-source address * port 53;

// forward first;
 forwarders {
    206.75.216.200;
  206.75.216.210;
 };
};

// reduce log verbosity on issues outside our control
logging {
 category lame-servers { null; };
 category cname { null; };
};

// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};

// be authoritative for the localhost forward and reverse zones, and for
// broadcast zones as per RFC 1912

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
 type master;
 file "/etc/bind/db.127.0.0";
};

// add entries for other zones below here

zone "emergeknowledge.com" {
 notify no;
 type master;
 file "/etc/bind/db.emerge";
};
