Hello my name is Kyrre Sjøbæk, and i am running a small network of Linux workstations and servers.
To provide them with DNS, we use DNSMASQ running on a Debian box (together with LDAP and NFS), which provides exactly what we need - a ligthning fast DNS server that is really easy to configure, and in which we can add local dns entries easily. Now, sometimes the server isn't that fast - it takes maybe 10 secounds to get an DNS answer from the server, but if you SSH in, lookup *on* the box is fast. Lookups from the "outside" to localy defined (/etc/hosts) hosts are also fast. This occurs on a irregular interval, so every time i get around to really debug it, the problem is gone... Have anyone else experienced this problem before? I have really no idea whats wrong... Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk
