I know that FTP and many web performance issues can be related to configuring a WWW server to attempt RDNS. Any inability to resolve RDNS causes the server to "hang", until a specified timeout passes.
It was a similar cause on another box I managed in the past that was quickly remedied by turning that feature off. The improvement in performance was very dramatic. I like the sniffer idea. Just need to find one for Win 2k (for my laptop). Danny -----Original Message----- From: David Morris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 9:50 AM To: Cox, Danny H. Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [gb-users] SQL_NET Proxy... Use a network sniffer if you can, I'd bet there is a RDNS associated with the oracle activity. I get similar awful performance when I initiate FTP connections from the PRO to PSN for web server update purposes. Something that FTP is attempting to lookup is going thru a reverse DNS timeout before it is apparently successful. Since I do updates a couple times a year, this hasn't been worth tracking down.
