Re: problem with dns

Hi,
This is a problem that touches some of Fedora services.
I've got a network
192.168.101.0
192.168.101.1 - this is my router
192.168.101.200 - ozzy - my F11 server
192.168.101.100 - dio - my Windows 6 workstation
I use two DNS servers
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 194.204.159.1
The problem shows up when my network 192.168.101.0 lose a connection
with 192.168.1.0 and my primary DNS server is not available.
[...]
Every time when I try to use samba I get no response from ozzy. Here
is what is happening for mc
I think that such behavior is clearly wrong. But it's a long term
issue. So maybe I'm wrong and this is a correct behavior?
The daemons are doing reverse DNS lookups on the IP addresses and not
getting any answers.
You can either tweak that in the resolv.conf file so it doesn't take
so long to give up (see the man page for options) or configure your
services to ignore it.
For sshd you just need to uncomment the following line in sshd.conf:
#UseDns no
But I don't see anything wrong with how things are happening in this situation.
