Michael,
 
I uninstalled Perl. Deleted the Perl directory. Re-installed Perl. I then installed Net::DNS from CPAN.
 
C:\Perl>perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Net::DNS
 
When completed, that install ran 1057 DNS tests, including A record and TXT records successfully. Time required according to the test harness was 12 Wall Clock seconds. It could not have been more than 30 real seconds.
 
I turned on Reverse and MX/A and restarted ASSP. It started hanging again.
 
I am starting to be convinced that it is an issue betweeen ASSP.and Net::DNS.

Micheal,
 
Just before you posted your original message, I posted a message about ASSP hanging for various amounts of time from seconds to minutes. I have been following your posts. Just to give you a little feedback, I had started turning off functionality item-by-item and restarting. As I started turning off items that used Net-DNS, the hangs started diminishing in frequency and duration. With SPF, RBL, and Reverse (which I had forgotten) the hangs are apparently gone.
 
Did you pull your Net::DNS from CPAN or else where?
 
C:\Perl> ppm3 install Net-DNS
 
vs
 
C:\Perl>perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Net::DNS

OK.  So here is what I have been able to surmise: If LocalPolicySPF is
blank (at this location), all SPF checks time-out. after 30~45 seconds. 
If LocalPolicySPF is populated with default info, SPF succeeds within 1
second...  At my primary installation of ASSP, I do not have this field
populated and I do not have any issues.

But now I am seeing a 20 second time-out during the SPF function while
it is doing the A record query (watch for wrap):

To add to this, with SPF and RBL *off*, the DoReversed check (the only feature marked with a Net::DNS requirement) is taking about a minute to complete:

----------

Plus, I was mistaken about RBL working.  Its timing out. It just wasn't so obvious in the normal logs entries.  Its logging as a pass, but its clear that not all required RBLs responded to the query.

I have downgraded Perl and some of the modules without any change in behavior.  I am truly dumbfounded at the moment.
