Most of us here put a DNS server right on the Hobbit server. I'd suggest trying that in a cache-only configuration.<br><br clear="all">Josh Luthman<br>Office: 937-552-2340<br>Direct: 937-552-2343<br>1100 Wayne St<br>Suite 1337<br>

<p>My hobbit server is pounding our dns servers with thousands
of requests even though every host in bb-hosts is also in the /etc/hosts file.
Anyone seen this? I have removed any dns entries from the /etc/resolv.cof file
and edited the /etc/nsswitch.conf file to only look at the hosts file for
lookups. I am still seeing hundreds of lookup per minuet..</p>
