Hi, With my 9.3 installation complete and mostly configured, I'm running into an odd problem with DNS. It appears to work, for the most part, but not perfectly. For example, the "host" and "nslookup" commands produce proper results but applications such as KMail or Akregator experience frequent, spurious and unpredictable failures to resolve host names. Often between two quickly repeated requests to resolve a given address (Akregator appears to resolve the same name repeatedly when you have multiple feeds configured for the same RSS host) one will succeed and another fail. I'm using a statically configured IP setup (host address, two ISP-supplied DNS server addresses and a default routing host) on a DSL link accessed via Ethernet. I've never experienced anything like this with my 9.1 installation, and when I switch back to it (the 9.3 installation was onto a clean disk partition) the symptom does not occur. Does anyone know what this might be? Is it some kind of configuration fine-tuning I need to apply? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Randall Schulz
