[comp.sys.apollo] named timeout troubles still

mheffron@orion.oac.uci.edu (Matt Heffron) (09/29/90)

I'm still having timeout problems on named on a SR10.2.0.6 DN3500.
Occasionally, named just seems to fail to respond to requests, but another
request immediately following works fine.  Below, I've appended the 
appropriate /etc/named.?* in hopes of someone finding something obvious.

Thanks in advance,
Matt Heffron                    mheffron@orion.oac.uci.edu (currently)
                                heffron@falstaff.css.beckman.com (soon!!)

General notes:
1. The filename headers aren't really in the files.
1. The nameserver on 134.217.247.1 (bv8500.dp.beckman.com) isn't
up yet so those lines are commented out.
2. The connection to the "outside world" isn't up yet so the ".." and
"sri-nic.arpa" lines are commented out also (named seems to complain when
booting the node if these are in).

We see this too, on both our DN10000 and DN2500 named's.
We are not using Apollo's named, but rather recompiling BIND from
original source (Apollo claims they are using the latest version too,
but I'm not taking any chances).
