Hi some of my linux servers inside a private range IP lan, are giving slow responses to clients inside the lan connecting to ftp or ssh. Whe had no DNS running. It seems to me this is because proftpd and sshd are doing reverse DNS lookups. So I supose the way to solve this is to set up a dns server. I started up setting up a cache dns server just doing apt-get install task-dns-server, adding 127.0.0.1 to the server's resolv.conf and making each machine in the network use this server as their DNS server. It seems to work ok only thing is that if I do an nslookup from a machine inside the network it fails because it can't find a name for the dns server IP I suppose the next step is to add an entry for the dns server and every machine in the net in bind's resource files but I'm not quite sure, since I am using private ip's....
Could someone light a torch over me? -- ______________________________ Daniel de los Reyes S2-Desarrollo, Grupo S2 Valencia Spain e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Debian GNU-Linux 2.2r3 ______________________________
