hello all,
on my network, i have a debian machine (sarge) acting as dns server (bind9).
I need to replace it with a solaris 10 machine, so i'm configuring named from sun with exactly the same files that are on debian machines.
When i start named on soaris 10, resolution works, but with a certain timeout, and i can't explain why.
To do testing, i modify resolv.conf on a solaris machine, as in:
cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain cmi.univ-mrs.fr
search cmi.univ-mrs.fr univ-mrs.fr
nameserver 192.168.64.23 <-- or 214, deponds on what server i'm using
nameserver 139.124.1.2

when doing lynx <url not in cache>, snoop show me that resolution is done by the second dns:

  0.00000 w2100.cmi.univ-mrs.fr -> 192.168.64.23 DNS C home.arcor.de. Internet Addr ?
  0.97924 w2100.cmi.univ-mrs.fr -> 192.168.64.23 DNS C 102.64.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Internet PTR ?

 10.19893 w2100.cmi.univ-mrs.fr -> 192.168.64.23 DNS C riluminy.univ-mrs.fr. Internet Addr ?

And if i use dig:
w2100-henry% dig @192.168.64.23 www.tututu.net A

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @192.1684.64.23 www.tututu.net A
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Anyone has noticed this problem? Any idea to solve it?

thanks in advance,

gerard
