Hi all. Just started getting these problems over the last couple of days and thought it was my ISP's dns servers, but it would seem that's not true. When trying to resolve websites via the browser, or doing nslookups via shell or anything for that matter that would require dns resolution, I've found that the windows machine at my desk resolves sites almost instantly with exactly the same DNS settings as my BSD box. Yet my FreeBSD box can take up to a full minute or more to resolve names, many times just timing out on DNS resolution and often having to repeatedly lookup the same hostname it just looked up each time it needed something from that host. Resolv.conf has the right dns servers in the right order and my hosts file is perty much bare, save for the names of both machines at my desk, so I'm stumped as to what could be causing this. Can anyone suggest anything?
