Ubuntu Firefox appears to be using different timeout or retry options than the other browser/OS combinations. I can post logs if anyone wants, but a summary should suffice.
If the primary server is 192.68.0.1 (wrong) but the secondary server is correct, nslookup -d2 www.google.com shows that it queries both servers, and it returns results immediately. nslookup -d2 www.google.com 192.68.0.1 [or any nonexistent server] shows three attempts with 5 second timeouts, followed by failure. Firefox shows retries and timeouts total 15 seconds, followed by success. I speculate that it's using default timeout of 5 seconds, with two retries, before using another server. Google Chrome or Fx on Fedora live CD shows (retries?) and timeouts, totaling 5 seconds, followed by success. OK, inasmuch as this depends on an incorrect setup, it's a minor problem. -- Ubuntu Firefox handles DNS failure poorly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/621879 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
