Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout?
It would be nice to see this in 4.10 or 4.11 (if there will be one). We aren't looking to move to 5.x within the next several months, if not longer. FreeBSD is just too stable to upgrade. :) - Original Message - From: "Giorgos Keramidas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Matthew Seaman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "adp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, May 31, 2004 3:16 AM Subject: Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout? > On 2004-05-31 08:20, Matthew Seaman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Mon, May 31, 2004 at 06:38:58AM +0300, Giorgos Keramidas wrote: > > > Hmmm, I *am* running 5.X.

I just looked at the sources of src/lib/libc/net/res_init.c and it seems that support for "timeout:" only exists in CURRENT. RELENG_4, RELENG_5_0, RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_5_2 lack the part of res_init.c that sets the timeout to the value configured in the `resolv.conf' file. I'm not sure if there are any plans to merge this back to 4.X or the release branches of 5.X though. - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Looking at the manpage source I see that this > option's missing from the 4.X sources :( This came up on the list quite recently. The source for the FreeBSD resolver.5 man page (/usr/src/share/man/man5/resolver.5) is maintained separately from the equivalent BIND source contributed from the ISC (/usr/src/contrib/bind/doc/man/resolver.5) The 'timeout:' and 'attempts:' entries in the FreeBSD man page are there in HEAD and have been for 5 months, but (despite the CVS comment on version 1.10 of the page) haven't been MFC'd to RELENG_4 or RELENG_5_2 yet. Whether this means that support is available in the underlying resolver libraries is another question.

Looking at the manpage source I see that this option's missing from the 4.X sources :( - Giorgos ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout?
I did in fact look at the manpage and did not find that option. I just looked again and I still can't find it. # man resolv.conf | grep -i timeout # uname -r 4.10-BETA Are you running FreeBSD 5.x perhaps? If the option is available and my manpage is wrong then that's fine. Just let me know. :) - Original Message - From: "Giorgos Keramidas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "adp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 10:12 PM Subject: Re: Can I specify the resolver timeout? > On 2004-05-30 12:04, adp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a way to override this timeout value?

Can I specify the resolver timeout?
We have two internal DNS servers in a FreeBSD web cluster. If the first DNS server fails then after a timeout period the client's resolver will try the second DNS server. This works fine, but is a bit slow. It looks like the timeout takes 10 to 15 seconds on FreeBSD 4.9-STABLE. Is there a way to override this timeout value? I know it is possible on other UNIX systems, such as AIX. Basically, we want to get a response within 3 seconds or the resolver should try the second DNS server. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
