RE: named triggers diald

Hi guys...

It might be stupid what I say... when the PC connects to retrieve the mail, the POP server (I do not know which you are using) wants to find out where the PC is from (if the IP confirms the name). Your named should first of all look into hosts file. If it finds the info there, should not go further. Some POP servers can be configured to "not to look for IP of the client". 

Best regards

Hi Mirco,

You might try running tcpdump on the diald proxy interface (tap0?) and 
get more detail on exactly what named is trying to look up.  Maybe 
you've overlooked something in your local zones?

Does your named have local zones for both forward and reverse lookups 
(xxx.co.za and 192.168.x.x) ?

Mark.
