I run named on my box as a caching name server, using my ISP's name servers with the auto_forward option, with the standard root servers as a fallback. Name resolution appeared to be working normally for everything but FreeBSD during the time this was happening. The first time I saw it, my ISP's name servers redirected me to their own page for failed lookups. I disabled the auto_forward and restarted named. The next time, it was Google Chrome which returned a redirected page. This went on for, like I said, about 45 minutes, then it all went back to normal. First time in the 16 years I've been using FreeBSD that I've ever seen the site become unreachable. Was just curious if anyone else noticed this or had any information as to what happened. No big whoop. :-) -- Conrad J. Sabatier conrads@cox.net
