I'm not sure what my localdomain is - I've named my LAN kapakipika and my two computers nui and iki (nui.kapakipika and iki.kapakipika), so should I just enter kapakipika? Or kapakipika.hawaii.rr.com? I went ahead and entered kapakipika by itself, and it seems to work, but would it be better to enter kapakipika.hawaii.rr.com? > nameserver 127.0.0.1 > > nameserver 24.25.227.32 > > nameserver 24.25.227.34 > > nameserver 24.25.227.36 > > > Also, edit your /etc/hosts file and enter your local boxes > ie: > 192.168.0.1 LinuxBox > 192.168.0.2 AnotherLinuxBox (They were already there.) I made the changes you suggested and there's no more delay! Thank you very much! BTW, I checked the status of named and got the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/rc.d/init.d]# ./named status number of zones: 4 debug level: 0 xfers running: 0 xfers deferred: 0 soa queries in progress: 0 query logging is OFF server is up and running Does this mean that it's working properly? Also, do you know what could have happened (when setting up nfs, etc.) that changed the DNS lookup function? (So that I can avoid making the same mistake twice.)
