[Sunhelp] strange DNS problem

[Dimitris S. Tsifakis]

Hello!

I have a similar problem with DNS. My home network consists of 5-6
computers and I run named in my SS20. Sometimes, when I try to resolve
a hostname from that computer (runs 2.6), I can't. All other computers
on my net work just fine. If I try again in a couple of minutes,
everything works just great, without changing a single thing in the
named setup, or the nsswitch.conf/resolv.conf files. Probably it's
a mistake I 've done in the named configuration, but i've been unable
to locate it...
