Re: slow dns lookup
Hello Tyler,
Is the machine behind a router that give out the dns ips with the ip lease and
is the ip thats given out for the dns to the machine the gateway ip ? To
check cat /etc/resolv.conf If so see if your router as the option to give
out your isp dns ips instead. I was having a ploblem with slow dns resovles
and the problem was my netgear router giving out the gateway ip. So the
machine could dns resolve from the router.
