The problem is not that ekiga does a DNS request for each contact (even if a DNS cache could be implemented in opal to optimise this); the problem is that it issues many DNS requests. How does this happen? Could that be a DNS configuration problem? Reporter, could you check: - how many DNS requests are sent with only one contact (one or many?) (In *normal* gconf configuration, you could save your config with "cp -a .gconf/apps/ekiga .gconf/apps/ekiga-save", and restore it afterwards) - with wireshark if your firsts DNS requests receive errors, so ekiga tries DNS requests again? -- Eugen _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
