Hello, I wrote the list a few days ago regarding BARAK's DNS misbehavior, and I have received a few answers, all of them confirming my findings: BARAK's default DNS servers, as defined by DHCP, are NOT working properly, so that several domains are either: a) not resolving at all (DNS timeout), b) resolving only after 30 seconds or so, or c) sometimes, resolving OK. I have worked out the stats, it seems that a) and b) account for between 80% and 90% of the DNS replies, which means LOTS of wasted time to the user (time=money ?). The culprits are the DNS servers 212.150.49.10 and 62.90.42.110. I'm not aware of the scope of this behavior, which domains are affected, or if it has been solved already. My testbed was http://petri.co.il, but my own domain (http://mbrcomp.co.il, in construction) also suffers from the same syndrome, as any BARAK subscriber can check. I have spent about 6 hours of talking and writing to BARAK support and system groups, and haven't seen the issue addressed at any practical level. I'm disappointed with their response, and the lack of interest of barak's business support team. I'm not suggesting any course of action, or endorsing any campaign, but this is a free country, and ranting is allowed and even encouraged... :^) Cheers, -- Michael Lewinger MBR Computers http://mbrcomp.co.il ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
