It sounds as if dnscache is hanging on you. There are some sites that simply do not conform to the settings of dnscache. Tinydns is an entirely different beast as it *is* a full dns server, not a caching server. The 'maradns' package would be the next best choice that works around the issues that dnscache has and possibly a better option in your situation. Any loggable problems with dnscache would be found in either /var/log/syslog or /var/log/daemon.log. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall Developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net http://guitarlynn.homelinux.org:81 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
