    I’m new to mydns and mydnsConfig. I think I have everything working correctly but it seems slow. Just doing dig or nslookup takes a second or two to do a lookup. When I do the same test on my extremely old server running bind, the response is instant. I’m running FreeBSD on a 1.9GHz P4. Any ideas on what I could try or am I worrying about nothing? One of the big reasons I’m switching is because my old DNS servers can’t keep up anymore.

    Generally mydns is very fast. How did you run the lookup query? Please try:

    dig @localhost www.yourdomain.com

    Till,

    Code:
    dig @localhost www.yourdomain.com
    That is exactly what I did. Also tried:
    # nslookup
    > lserver localhost
    > www.yourdomain.com.

    Both took more than a second to lookup with mydns. I did some tests with mysql and it is instant so it's not the db. mydns was built with ./configure -enable-alias

    Hmm, I have no idea. On my server I get a answer from mydns in 72 msec :confused:

    What is in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts
