Strange. When exactly does it trigger a named request to your forwarders?
** BB, Arjen
Periodically I see a request for "WORKGROUP" coming from this 95 box as signaled in /var/log/messages by named. Which is followed by a request to the forwarders of my ISP as shown by diald-top.
And hello again, Well this problem is solved / has disappeared. I had a tcp/ip problem in Win95 that only was solved by reinstalling the net on it and remove and install winsock2 then is started to query my DNS for "WORKGROUP.DOMAIN.COM". I made my router have a CNAME for this and everything is fine. I stopped using netscape on my WIn95 box because it always tries to reach home.netscape.com whether you start the browser or the mailer! So switched to Explorer and Outlook Express 5 from the third(!) millennium update CD. Now I suspect it's Outlook that accesses servers from mailexchange.com on port 80 (yes www:-) once in a while (say 20 min's) AAarrrghhh, time for that filter I promised myself I *hate* programs that start doing things without a mentioning somewhere and/or a possibility of disabling it without an rm -r * ! The funny thing is that from linux using netscape I do not get to see www.mailexchange.com home page, just a blank screen with the name of the site.??? So 2 gone and 1 came. Thanks for listening BB, Arjen P.S. Rayethon doesn't that have a connection to Racal-Milgo? I have a 1200bps hand operated dinosaur of them somewhere. -- Sell what you use, use what you sell. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
