speed up bind9?

2005-09-08 Thread Jerod Prothe
The single dns I am running resolves...eventually.  I have not set up a 
secondary name server (caching) but I plan to.

Our proxy server is querying my one-and-only dns but often queries time out.
Is there a way to optimize the performance of the dns?  The same box handles 
httpd, postfix, and spamd, so I realize there may not be much else I could do.

Thanks.

Why, yes.  Use the forwarders directive to point your nameserver to another 
DNS server (which should be larger and better connected).


However, a lightly loaded DNS server ought to run just fine unless there is a 
problem somewhere.  Are you having path MTU problems, or do you have a firewall 
somewhere which might be blocking TCP port 53 or something like that?

I had read where the bind9 implementation of IPv6 was a bit flaky, so I found 
that tip and am trying it.  Doesn't seem to change things though.

Hi, try starting bind with the -4 flag. See if that helps.
