I've been off BIND and on djbdns for a couple years: I really like its stability, speed, security, decoupling of cache and zone server, and small footprint. What you're seeing is not disk accesses for name resolution but a symptom of a failed install or invocation; I've messed up and seen the same thing. It may be that there's already a djbdns (or BIND) running -- using port 53 -- and you're trying to invoke djbdns but it can't get the port, so it sleeps for a couple seconds and starts again. I'm assuming you're using the daemontools stuff as recommended by DJB and www.lifewithdjbdns.org. Could be other similar startup problems. Check the logs. Once you figure that out, it will run like a dream. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
