I know there may be a better forum to ask this question, but I expect someone here may be able to give a sensible answer. One Solaris (2.7) machine I run has a Solaris ppp connection to Demon, it is dynamic and works pretty much ok. (Not as good as a free version that I used to use under SunOs though and not as good as on the 2.6 machine) I've got named working, having moved the ppp/named/sendmail setup over from a Solaris 2.6 machine. I also run webroute as an http proxy server for the Windows machines on the LAN - Solaris doesn't seem to support IP masquerading like Linux does. All seems ok, except at times when the link is up and down like a yo-yo. I've traced this to named and turned the debug up to see what it is doing. It seems to keep querying websites that were looked up earlier. This persists even if I kill off the webroute. A 127.0.0.1:xxx -> 127.0.0.1:yyy connection is logged and a name lookup request for some ancient website. This also persists if I kill off named and restart. I have a vague recollection of this happening before, but it didn't do it until I swapped machines. (I have even copied the named binary from the previous 2.6 machine as they use a far newer release of BIND which uses a totally different config file format. I also noticed that Solaris 2.7 sendmail can't talk ESMTP! It got an error talking to post as it said LHLO instead of EHLO.) Any help or pointers appreciated. jsm
