Hi all,
I am behind a firewall and have no access to the Internet
I dial up my isp and get mail down by ppp login
My dns is working only because it is a requirement by qmail.
I saw a suggestion by Joseph S D Yao to use forwarders {}
to prevent bind from trying to use root.hints
which take a long time (about 40 sec.)
I have tried with an empty root.hints file
and it works much faster,
but I see from the many mails on this list
that it is not the correct way.
Could you kindly let me know if this is the correct syntax
as I do not quite understand the use of forwarders,
/etc/named.conf
---------------
options {
directory "/var/named";
interface-interval 5;
forward only;
forwarders {};
};
/var/log/messages
