Search Again: Re: dns problem resolution? From: Thomas Carpentier Date: Friday, November 5, 2004 Time: 1:50:43 am A fix from a macfixit reader Ken. I tried the fix and it seems I have a better connectivity with Safari, but not completeley resolved (Safari can't connect to some sites on the first try, but less than without the fix). I am running QuickDNS 4.6.1 and Bind 9.2.3 on Jaguar 10.2.8 "I found that a very simple fix (if you don't mind editing OS config files) was to modify the /System/Library/StartupItems/BIND/BIND file to add the '-4' option to named, which forces it to only use IPV4. For example, the first part of the file normally looks like this: StartService () { if [ "${DNSSERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then ConsoleMessage "Starting named" named fi } I changed the above to: StartService () { if [ "${DNSSERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then ConsoleMessage "Starting named" named -4 fi } Source: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20041101075016967
