This is so cool. Why? Because I'm already comfortable with BIND as my content DNS server (although I'm not discounting the possibility of using djbdns 100% sometime in the future when I have more time to play with it and migrate this mugger). What's more, I've nailed the bugger. And I think you've nailed it too. It's BIND as a resolving proxy DNS server that's killing me. The only reason life still works is probably because of the preemptible kernel I'm using (thanks rml). How am I so sure it's not syslog? I fired up IPTraf and suddenly life slowed down. But not slow enough for me not to be able to shift to /dev/vc/9. And there I saw nothing. Which means BIND wasn't hitting any lame servers. So it's not the lame servers that's an issue. BIND just hogs the system. And this is a Pentium III 733MHz with 512MB RAM that wasn't doing much else ... except for trying to resolve all those names because of IPTraf. So I should figure out how to package djbdns using the source package that's available for Debian. Then I'll play around with it and use it as at least my resolving proxy DNS server, then later on hopefully as my content DNS server as well. But, I MUST study for Math 130 first. Last final exam tomorrow (no, that's NOT redundant, hehehe). Gotta make it good. > http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/8740/fid/699 > http://homepages.tesco.net./~J.deBoynePollard/FGA/dns-server-roles.html > http://www.bsdtoday.com/2001/April/Features469.html No time to read this now, but thanks anyway. And I'm not very baffled with resolving proxy server versus content server, and I know why they should be separated. Similar reason why I don't use Apache for my proxy server. Hehehe. The thing is, I assumed that BINDv9, while one package, separated the two. Man, was I wrong. :( Gotta djbdns ... NOW! Pero aral muna. I'll let you know when I've done the leap. Two steps shouldn't kill me. ;> Now to 'apt-get djbdns-installer'. Or maybe 'apt-get source djbdns-installer' so I can hack it first to get around its dependency on gcc-2.95 which I don't have installer anymore. Hahaha. :) Thanks Dek. With the grace of God I will soon be a fellow djbdns zealot. Sa Postfix vs qmail na lang tayo magkakatalo. But I'm sure you will agree with me that Postfix vs qmail is not as easy a battle to figure out which is better, as compared with BIND vs djbdns which seems to be trivial. Hehehe. (And my server ain't even loaded). --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
