Subject: "resolving host" Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2004 19:14:42 -0500 From: Your Name <spam_bin@kansas.org> Newsgroups: linux.debian.user
I wonder why browsing is so slow with Mozilla in Debian (well, Libranet). Using the ip addresses of websites it is blazing fast.. but using the www address it is slower than molasses in January.Not just Mozilla, but even Firefox and Galeon behave the same way.I do not have this problem in my FC2 box. Any ideas? (besides dumping Libranet/Debian, I mean).. --- Your Name :)
It's certainly not true for the rest of us. :) What do you get when you try to resolve the address directly? Ex: ~$ time host www.debian.org www.debian.org has address 194.109.137.218 real 0m0.071s user 0m0.050s sys 0m0.010s That ain't molasses.... :)
