What specific behavior(s) should >I be looking for to indicate the issue? The problem reported (widely) is that lookups take far too long on the first try. Basically, you put a previously-unvisited website into a web browser, hit return, wait for it to time out (15 seconds or less), try again, and it (typically) works. Sometimes you have to try three or four times. If you're not having that problem, then don't worry about solving it. Chris Buxton Men & Mice - Making DNS Easy Customer Service and Sales Engineer
