Synopsis: Apache DNS resolution backs up in named, eventually rendering server unusable.
State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Sat Sep 20 12:37:25 PDT 1997 State-Changed-Why: I'm really not sure that this is an Apache problem or that we can do anything about it. If the DNS query isn't timing out, then your DNS server is not properly timing out. If you can't make it work correctly, you may need to turn off reverse DNS lookups. What version of BIND are you using? Try upgrading it. Try pointing your machine at another name server on your site that has a better version of named. It would be possible to try modifying the timeouts for name resolution, but I doubt that will help too much since it is broken already. The fact that restarting named fixes it indicates that named is blocking in a query and not properly returning an answer or a failure as it should.
