"Looking Up/Contacting" Slow when switching between webpages.

[Sebby]

Woops, so it was. That'll teach me to look more carefully! Thanks to stevethegas!

Revert to auto, Alan, if the problem is gone, it wasn't the IDNet DNS servers. If it continues, then try OpenDNS again.

.
Thanks Rik... Will do...

Hi all

We think we have found a problem with BIND and IPv6. We have now disabled IPv6 support of both our DNS Resolvers (212.69.40.3 and 212.69.36.3) - we would welcome any feedback on performance as of now.

Thanks
Simon

[Rik]

Thanks for that, Simon. We'll keep an eye on things and let you know. 

[Steve]

Thanks, Stupid question, but does that mean if those of us who were having occasional problems had disabled IPv6 the problem would have gone away?

[Rik]

I'm guessing yes, Steve, but I don't know, there may have been translation at work.

WTF is BIND??

.....or is it bindingly obvious?

[Malc]

WTF is BIND??

This?

BERKLEY INTERNET NAME DOMAIN I THINK

Sorry too slow

[Rik]

Both correct. Move to the top of the class.

[David]

Im steaming alone here really quick if that is of any help to you pages almost instant

[Rik]

Thanks, David.

[Inactive]

Thanks guys, I am now much wiser..  ( I think ).

[Simon]

Seems OK here to me, but then, I never noticed any problems anyway.

[Sebby]

Thanks for the update, Simon. I must just add, though, that I've had similar issues and I'm using OpenDNS. It could, of course, be OpenDNS, so I might switch back to IDNet's and see how I get on.

[Rik]

Would be good if you could, Sebby. The more of us testing this, the better.

[trax]

Done some tests and it all seems much better, usually <300ms for a lookup 

[Rik]

Same here - gone are the 'looking up' messages.

[Sebby]

Okay, now switched to IDNet's DNS' - will see how I get on.

[Rik]

Keep us posted.

[Lance]

Great stuff, thanks Simon!

[Sebby]

So far so good. I must say it's noticeably quicker than OpenDNS.

[Rik]

That's what we like to hear.

[lozcart]

Noticed a big difference tonight, much quicker. 8)

[Steve]

Absolutely, its happening so quickly Visualroute thinks the dns lookup may be cached
