I have made some changes, added another DNS that should be just for caching (hopefully). I restarted SA with debug just to see what is happening. I got the following in the log. Some are still a bit slow, but they are responding. Would this show that I am now getting responses from all the websites or does this really not mean anything for me? PS I had to change my name from Bob to Robert! Tue Aug 5 06:52:09 2014 [-5288] dbg: async: timing: 0.002 . A:ns.webspan.com Tue Aug 5 06:52:09 2014 [-5288] dbg: async: timing: 0.003 .
