Stephan, I haven't yet looked at the new data you've reported because of the last point that you mention, the point that I brought up in my previous email, is of critical importance. There is currently evidence that suggests the possibility that this problem is not reproduceable from anywhere bu

Hello again, to give a short summary; I contacted this list to ask for help with diagnosing a problem with a co-located server (accessible at http://stbgo.org) running FreeBSD 6.1. When I swamp it with requests (simply, lynx -dump http://stbgo.org > /dev/null in a loop) some responses take 90 sec

So login to the FreeBSD machine and trace back to your client IP - or as close as you can get. That may mean just to the edge of your current provider but that may give you some idea. Ok, here is the result. $ traceroute 64.114.83.92 traceroute to 64.114.83.92 (64.114.83.92), 64 hops max, 40 b

Ok, this is a little unfortunate: I can't run traceroute from the client PC (the service provider doesn't seem to like it). (Nor can I use ping) The server FreeBSD kernel doesn't support tcpdump. I should recompile it then, but not now. So I ran the netstat tests, seeing no other suggestion. B

Ok, thanks, I now ran tcpdump with -n. Here I am testing with a little script that continuously accesses one of the pages. Right at the beginning it doesn't get very far: first response after 90 seconds. What kind of DNS problem did you have in mind? Stephan $ sudo /usr/sbin/tcpdump -n host st
