Bind 9 is slow? Please help

[MJ]

Hi
I have read so many times that --disable-Ipv6 is not a valid option,
therefore I need comments from experts. Anyways I will try and post my
experience.
Thanks,
MJ

So let's repeat the answers you have already received.... :-)

    MJ> 1- Is this the right solution of this problem? 

No. It's a kludge that doesn't address the underlying problem.

    MJ> Any disadvantages of using -4 option?

See above.

    MJ> 2- If I recompile the bind with --disable-Ipv6, will it help?

Why don't you try it and tell us if it does or not?
