Yes, I recall some mention of this in previous threads. My university doesn't supply an SMTP server to the students, so I run SIMS for my personal use. Usually the DNS servers are quite snappy, though the network dost suckest mightily. >If that is consistent with what you see (and it seems to me that it >could be, especially if you don't have a local lightly-loaded >nameserver handling the primary SIMS domain.) you may just have to >live with it or else set up a nameserver that will always be >responsive. Hmm...I'll try setting up a local DNS server, just to poke around with it. and see what happens.
