Topic: DNS problem

Hi.

I have some problems with some web sites that are loading very slowly.    I thinking that my ISP was filtering content. But I make a traceroute and have this results:

Code: [Select]


[root@server ~]# traceroute -n divx.com
traceroute to divx.com (8.4.80.20), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

[/code]

This means that my server has problems?

Just guessing, did you set an external DNS server ?
In most cases it's better to set the sme server as DNS server (faster).

How I can know this? My SME is working with the default configuration.

I must to clarify that I when execute traceroute, the "* * * *" in the first steps of trace, delay some 30 seconds aprox. Is too much.

Server manager Review configuration Server names DNS = local IP ??
It should.

Yes. DNS server   = 192.168.1.1

traceroute -n divx.com

The "-n" option for traceroute instructs traceroute to print only the IP address of each node on the route, and specifically not to do any DNS lookups, so your issue is clearly unrelated to DNS.

Do you have any sort of redundancy or load balancing on your internet connection?  I was told years ago by someone who knows way more than me about networking that a redundant or load-balanced internet connection will always return '* * *' in traceroute if the returning packets are using a different route than the outgoing packets.
