Search Again: lookup time outs From: Denis Wauthy Date: Friday, October 10, 1997 Time: 5:47:00 pm I remember the problem was not that serious with previous versions of QDNS and/or Netscape. What has changed that caused this new behaviour? Does the 2.0 version differ in this regard? I there a way to ResEdit either software to improve the whole thing? >>I have a problem with QDNS 1.1.2. Many http requests get back with a >>'domain doesn't have a DNS entry'. If I resend the request then the >>domain is found. It looks like QDNS has too small a time out. >Actually, this can happen with any name server (we've seen this on both >BIND and Windows NT name servers). What happens is that the browser >application (most often Netscape) has a very short timeout value for >queries and the request sometimes times out before the name server can >finish the lookup (given that the entry isn't in the DNS cache). The problem persists with sites that I visit daily. Needless to say, QDNS is not restarted that often. --------------------- @ --------------------- Denis Wauthy Switch On sa/nv mailto:d.wauthy@switchon.be tel: +32 2 549 5565 (direct) fax: +32 2 511 2654 GSM: +32 75 441013 URL: http://www.switchon.be/ -----------------------------------------------
