Yes, that's certainly worth a try. We also never got any feedback from you last week about the possibility of the problem being caused by an overloaded name server, or a connection that's too slow between your system and its name server. Either of these problems may or may not be helped by server_wait_time, depending on whether htdig or other activity is the major cause of the slow name server response. If htdig is having problems reaching the name server, that would certainly cause those "Unknown host" errors. I mentioned that last week, so I'm not sure why you still say you're "totally at a loss why this is happening." What is the name server for your htdig system? Is it on your local net, or on a remote network? Is it shared by lots of other systems, and perhaps overloaded? Is there any possibility of using a closer and/or less busy name server for your system, or setting up a caching-only DNS server? -- Gilles R.
