Hi,
I see intermittent problems on my Internet link (Linux SuSE 6.2, kernel
2.2.10 as a gateway for WinNT/9x clients):
Now and then (?, not regular) a DNS forwarded request to my ISP DNS servers
takes very long to be resolved. Typical log entry sequence:
Sep 15 07:48:31 linux01 named[8283]: XX /127.0.0.1/www.spotlight.de/A
Sep 15 07:48:32 linux01 named[8283]: XX
/127.0.0.1/154.247.20.195.in-addr.arpa/PTR
Sep 15 07:48:53 linux01 named[8283]: XX /127.0.0.1/lwn.net/A
Sep 15 07:49:25 linux01 last message repeated 7 times <--- ??????? WHY
Sep 15 07:49:54 linux01 last message repeated 4 times < --- ????
Sep 15 07:49:55 linux01 named[8283]: XX /127.0.0.1/www.burstnet.com/A
Sep 15 07:49:57 linux01 named[8283]: XX
/127.0.0.1/61.42.11.128.in-addr.arpa/PTR
Sep 15 07:49:57 linux01 named[8283]: XX
/127.0.0.1/90.112.168.206.in-addr.arpa/PTR
This happens while I am in the middle of web browsing, after working fine
for quite a while before (and these are different names each time which take
long to resolve).
I wonder whether I have either a bad line quality (56k ext. modem which was
used on the same line with Win95 in former times w/o problems), or I am
doing something wrong with my diald/pppd definitions.
ifconfig -i ppp0 shows:
linux01:~ # ifconfig -i ppp0
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:203.97.48.43 P-t-P:203.167.224.12 Mask:255.255.255.255
POINTOPOINT NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:357 errors:85 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:85 <---?????
TX packets:382 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
Where can I read about those frame errors? What can I do to trace those?
I suspect (hope) to get rid of those by changing diald/pppd set up but I
can't figure out which parameter I might need for that.
Thanks for any ideas.
