Our caching only nameserver running on an RS6000, rev 3005 has started to break intermittently. It is also a resolver. /etc/resolv.conf is listed below: nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 128.207.254.223 nameserver 128.207.254.44 nameserver 136.240.1.21 domain ca.boeing.com When the nameserver breaks, it stops resolving from the local nameserver cache and looks only to /etc/hosts. It also refuses to query other nameservers. The really weird thing is that it seems to get well after an indeterminate amount of time. Suddenly, the local nameserver starts resolving, apparently none the worse for wear. Sometimes I can stop/restart named to make it well, but this doesn't always work. Has anyone seen this or have any theories? Any help greatly appreciated. Charles DeRykus Internet: ced@bcstec.boeing.com Boeing Computer Services UUCP: ...!uunet!bcstec!ced Renton, WA.
