Another query on name servers. The resolv.conf can have multiple
nameservers listed, but when does one switch from 1 to anaother. Ideally
there should be some timeout.
I tried with nslookup ( without the option for specific nameserver), it
tried to look up the query from 202.54.30.1 ( 1st on my list) and just
stuck with it for ages.
Vsnl bandwidth has apparently nose-dived here in Pune. Previously i did
not consider having my own nameserver, but now i think it has become
necessary.
I hope other vsnl-pune_ites are facing the same, or is my config broken.
Even for my ppp peer i get a ping round trip of the order 8000 ms and that
too with some 50%+ packet loss.( i ping with a "-s 10" a default ping,
never comes back)
sreangsu
p.s.
strangely things improve after 11, it should have been the otherway round.
