I don't suppose that since you installed a new firewall shortly before this happened, that anything might have changed or reset or even didn't get set correctly for the failover to work properly through the FW... I mean it's certainly something I'd likely have done if I couldn't figure it out in a public forum... ;-) Next thing.. something should be forwarding requests off of your machine. Are you sure .. as Per Jesson mentioned, nscd isn't configure to not try outside DNS servers? Sometimes the newer *orders* in the nscd.conf file are not helpful .. I presume enable-cache hosts timeout in nscd is 'reasonable'... how about "nsswitch.conf"... default is: #hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns wins which seems a bit problematic.... but I use: hosts: files dns wins Maybe something is responding on mdns4_minimal with notfound? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
