hi there,
I use named to only forward dns requests (if any). every time I start it (manually from the command line) it dials out. then the ppp times out after 3 mins, connection gets dropped and everything geos back to normal. as soon as a dns request arrives ppp kicks in.. and so on and so on.
in named.conf I have forward only and have set forwarders. so everything is OK but just that initial dial out at start up is annoying me.
i have read named.conf manual and there is says that you can put "dialup yes" have done that but no luck and I think this option is more for proper dns and doesn't apply to dns forwarding
Did you put the "dialup yes" as a global option? If not, it might only apply to certain zones, and other zones will update as needed.
Also, did you set the "heartbeat-interval"? I don't know what the default is, but you'll probably want to set it pretty high.
Also, the system will _always_ dial out if it doesn't have the DNS information requested.
Just some thoughts.
