Help with my linux DNS server lookups slow

location: linuxquestions.com - date: September 29, 2006
Hi Linux users, I hava a Linux server in a business environment. All the PCs connected to it are running Windows XP (and one with Win 2K). The server itself is an IBM eServer xSeries 335 with Linux Mandrake MultiNetwork Firewall, kernel 2.4.18 - I know its old but all attempts to upgrade have failed (another story). The server has 2 network cards eth0 and eth1. I use this server as a gateway, firewall, proxy, and DNS server between all the PCs in the company and the DSL Internet connection. My proxy software is squid. I was looking in the squid logs because the Internet has been really slow lately and I've gotten complaints about it. Anyway, the squid log shows everything working well except the DNS lookups. Under the heading: median service time (seconds) I have: 5 min: 10.14244; 60 min: 9.70242. This tells me that clients are waiting up to 10 seconds for a page to be displayed while the DNS lookup is going on. I am using a standard ADSL connection with dynamic IP addre

Hi, i have setup a forward dns entry and i have specified the ip 192.169.x.x (i got this ip from the ifconfig command) Now when i do nslookup finds the domain perfectly but the problem is that it can be only viewable privately not publically viewable. I am not sure how to make the domain publically viewable , but what i was thinking is that If i check the main ip address from the www.whatismyip.com and replace my private ip with it. Will that work. or need some other way. Please help. usmangt

Please help! I have a pc connected to the internet using an ethernet connection. Using ubuntu I am able to resolve domains using nslookup, but if I try to run "ping google.com" or "ping 74.125.39.104" it doesn't work.

Accessing Apache/Tomcat web server via host name vs. DNS alias

location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 15, 2013
I'm not sure where to look to resolve this, so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have two web servers in my environment that are supposed to be doing the same thing. server1.domain.com - RHEL 5, Apache 2.2.3, Tomcat5 server2.domain.com - RHEL 6, Apache 2.2.15, Tomcat6 Each server has an alias in DNS: webserver1.dev.company.com ==> server1.domain.com webserver2.dev.company.com ==> server2.domain.com Regardless of how I access server1, (via hostname or alias) I get to my web application without issue. However, when I access my server2 using the alias, I get prompted to log in using the credentials specified in /etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.conf before I get to the main page. After that, the main page is a login page and when I enter credentials, the same login page comes back up. I've verified that if I input incorrect credentials, I do get an incorrect password message, so I know it's passing the credentials through correctly. When I

Microsoft ISA Firewall Returns Port Scan Warnings From Linux BIND DNS Servers.

location: linuxquestions.com - date: January 26, 2004
I setup two RedHat Linux 9 DNS Servers with their default BIND 9.2.1-16. One is the master 64.234.123.2 and the other is the slave 64.234.123.3 (these are not the actual addresses). Everything works well except that my Microsoft ISA 2000 Firewall returns the warning below under Even Viewer, Application: Event ID 15105 ISA Server detected an all port scan attack from Internet Protocol (IP) address 64.234.123.2. For more information about this event, see ISA Server Help. The Linux DNS servers are stand-alone with no firewalling and they are not behind the ISA firewall. My ISA firewall is 64.234.123.4. These warning happen about every one to two hours. Why? Does BIND actually perform a port scan before zone transfers? Is this part of it's mechanism; port scans? Has anybody else experienced this? Please let me know.

[Solved] How do I find my DNS server in 12.04?

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: April 21, 2012
DNS server used to be contained in the file /etc/resolv.conf. Well, no longer the case in 12.04. The file /etc/resolv.conf shows 127.0.0.1.

how to set the dns servers in 12.04 for a wired conection

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: August 19, 2012
hi, I have two questions, the first is probably involved. 1) I am trying to change my DNS servers and after checking the internet on how to do it I am at a complete loss. I am using 12.04 64 bit, xubuntu with the xfce DE. My ISP has DNS servers that are used, but I want to change them and try some different servers. My /etc/resolve.conf says "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN". I did manage to find this: Code: sudo gedit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf change the line : perpend domain-name-servers x.x.x.x, y.y.y.y; and I added two different DNS servers, but when I check my "Connection Information", it shows the two DNS servers that I added, but then a 'ternary' DNS server, which is the original DNS server supplied by my ISP. I just want the primary and secondary DNS servers that I prepended in the dhclient.conf 2) After setting the DNS servers, is there a way to check to see actually what your DNS servers are? I kno
