yes I have dialup yes. my named.conf is actually quite simple as I only use it for dns forwarding therefore I don't actually need to set the heartbeat-interval. if I start named, let it dial, wait for the ppp time out to expire and leave the system for days without any traffic it doesn't dial. so it is working properly. the only thing that I can't uinderstand is why named makes ppp dial out when it is only suppoed to forward dns requests. and I have no other app that does dns requests. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Moran" <wmoran@potentialtech.com> To: "DJ Boris" <dj_boris@mail.ru> Cc: "freebsd-questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, March 16, 2003 4:53 PM Subject: Re: how can I stop named to dial out at startup > DJ Boris wrote: > > hi there, > > > > I use named to only forward dns requests (if any). every time I start it > > (manually from the command line) it dials out. then the ppp times out after > > 3 mins, connection gets dropped and everything geos back to normal. as soon > > as a dns request arrives ppp kicks in.. and so on and so on. > > > > in named.conf I have forward only and have set forwarders. so everything is > > OK but just that initial dial out at start up is annoying me. > > > > i have read named.conf manual and there is says that you can put "dialup > > yes" have done that but no luck and I think this option is more for proper > > dns and doesn't apply to dns forwarding > > Did you put the "dialup yes" as a global option?
