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.

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?

AFAIK this is already fixed - run YOU to update kdelibs3.

There was a KDE bug that should been fixed with the latest KDE security update but if you have updated your system, I have no further idea, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
