Search Again: Recursive query delays From: Craig Bowers Date: Wednesday, December 1, 1999 Time: 8:55:00 pm I'm wondering if anyone can suggest where should I start looking to track down why my offsite queries are taking so long? I'm now stumpped. My Setup: 2Mbps fiber connection, 100baseT Asante NIC's and Asante 10/100 switch (Intraswitch 6224). Applw 7200/90 88Mb RAM, 1MB L2Cache OS 8.6 Running: -QDNS Pro 2.21 -SIMS 1.8b7 (mail server) -Letterip (list server) - have tried allocating various amounts of RAM to QDNS pro from defaults to 15MB with no affect I have also installed QuickDNS Pro on our webserver which is a: Apple 7200/90 120MB RAM, 1MB L2cache WS4D 2.11 SiteEdit ACGI QDNSPro 2.21 -All of our domains respond to queries between 10 and 20ms - so far so good. -However random sites chosen that are not cached either don't resolve the first time or take between 20,000 and 35,000 ms -Sending the same query again to our DNS nets a reply in 10 to 20ms from the cache just like it was one of our own domains. -Sending the same queries to our connection providers secondary server yields a 800-3000ms query on initial queries and 20ms on subsequent queries from it's cache. -Sending the same queries to a PSInet DNS yields 300-400ms on the initial query and ~100ms on subsequent queries. We've been using them for a few years without any problems. The slowness only seems to be since we moved from one fiber connection to another one, but I can't see how that could create a problem.
