we got bit by this on one of our high-load development servers. the DNS server hung, and all the webserver ground to a halt.
in 1.3 we had a custom module which tweaked the resolver's
retransmission time interval & #times to retransmit options
(in the global structure _res on most unixes)
now the questions..
is this kind of thing available on win32/os2/beos etc?
should this be a APR-function of just a auto-conf option?
cheers
Ian
