"Often, slow response time is a symptom of broken name servers -- missing IN PTR records for the addresses in use, for instance. Using nslookup or dig to probe those out might be helpful"
As I said in my original post, I am pinging a host, sol10, which is on my local LAN and is in /etc/hosts. Why would a broken name server - missing IN PTR records have anything to do with this problem, which, BTW, another user in Taiwan also has (he responded to me personally). I can see nscd taking time to do its thing, but sleeping...? Its coincidental that the problem also occurs when the machine has to query DNS for an offnet host address. Has anyone else seen this in nv39 and / or nv40? Ron This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
