Current situation: OS: RELENG_4 (4.6-STABLE), as of Tuesday, 6 August 2002 BIND configured as cache-only; has been working quite nicely for months. Cablemodem connection(s) aren't resolving names. Such things as ping & traceroute work fine as long as I supply an ip-address and specify no name resolution (i.e. traceroute -n). This started happening roughly a week ago, but there have been problems with the cablemodem network itself (& I think this might still be a problem with the cablemodem network). It appears that the "upstream" nameserver(s) don't want to talk with mine now(?) Kernel-ppp connections work fine & resolve ok; ppp is to the dialup-side of the same company/network as the cablemodem(s). At this time I can use either of 2 cablemodems; dhclient gives me different ip-addresses for each, but otherwise the situation is the same (no name resolution). Previous situation: Cache-only BIND, as above. Name resolution working with both Ethernet & dialup/kernel-ppp. Any ideas?
