Re: My Linux server takes time to reply

2001-03-14 Thread Michael Burger
That's probably it, then. When you make a connection to an inetd controlled service, it tries to verify the name of the system against the incoming IP. It does this by consulting a running named, either on the local system, or on someplace remote. The time out on that lookup can be fairly long.

The server is taking so long to reply because it can not resolve your IP address against a domain name. The reason is that your DNS server appears to not be running. That message appears to show that you're trying to run BIND from within inetd...and if so, that's the incorrect way to do it. BIND
