I´m setting up a couple of outbound, high-volume mail gateways that need some kind fairly quick failover when their primary DNS is down, to use another DNS. The behavior available in some resolvers seems sufficient. I´ve seen resolv.conf options of such as attempts:4 and timeout:2 in the DNS & BIND book, etc but these are not in the 4.6R man resolv.conf page. Is there any other way in FreeBSD to set these resolver params? thanks Len http://MenAndMice.com/DNS-training http://BIND8NT.MEIway.com : ISC BIND 8.2.4 for NT4 & W2K http://IMGate.MEIway.com : Build free, hi-perf, anti-abuse mail gateways To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
