Snow Leopard Server DNS very very slow
Hello Admins and Apple Techies
I do use SLS on a Mac Mini 1.83GHz with 2GB of memory.
More or less all services do work fine, except the very very slow DNS.
I did the following settings.
1) DNS Server settings are Debug loglevel, localnets, forwarders are the DNS servers of my networkprovider which are 195.186.1.162, 195.186.4.162
2) Zone settings are 1.99.168.192.in-addr.arpa, 192.168.99.1 for server.private., addressbook.server.private. as alias to server.private., calendar.server.private as alias to server.private. and ical.server.private. as alias to server.private.
3) The clients and the server do have the following settings in the network settings for DNS entry.
192.1686.99.1, 195.186.162, 195.186.4.162
Below you will see the logfile for a query of store.apple.com. As you can see it took 2 minutes to get the server IP of store.apple.com. If I switch off my DNS Server, the clients get this page very very quick. The CPU load is close to nothing.
