Could you tell us a bit more details? How exactly long did it take to load the new configuration? Does that depend on specific add/remove actions? e.g., does that change if you only add a single zone without any deletion, or does that happen even for such a simple, small change? Also, does that happen first time you reconfig the server, or after several times of reconfig operation? It would also be very helpful if you can file a bug report with the set of your configuration so that we can reproduce it locally. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
