Long-time DNS Timeout Issues Resolved - Part II

It seemed that I still had issues with the DNS. So I decided to track it down to the source... BIND. For some reason, BIND was taking too long to query addresses not in my DNS server. So all I did was enable the following configuration settings in the named.conf file: forward only; forwarders {    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;    XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX; } What that does is forward all domain queries not listed in your dns server to a different dns server. I chose my cable providers dns. Replace XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX with the DNS servers to forward the requests to. This worked like a charm. However, if you do not control your DNS server or cannot forward requests, you might be out of luck. P.S. I can access Yahoo! now! I am so excited.
