[CentOS] resolving names it is really slow slow with CentOS5.x using named

ive read most of the thread, yet not all. forgive me as i might have missed
some of this below in helping...

carlopmart,

what is in your /etc/resolv.conf

is it configured correctly?

are you using ipv6?

if not, is it fully disabled / turned off?

in modprobe.conf put

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

reboot...

also, are you loading those other opsys on the same machine and getting good
results or different machines?

testing other opsys on different hardware could be problematic.

did you bother to check the physical ports to see if any problems in the
switch or with ethtool on the server interface ?

thoughtfully consinder following advise of others re: tcp and dns

cables...
