I don't know what you router does, but the way DNS works is that it sends UDP packets to the addresses (port 53) specified in the nameserver line asking for the name resolution. If a nameserver is not installed, it must wait for a timeout to go to the next nameserver in the list. You may indeed have a caching only nameserver in your router in which case what you have is OK. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
