Both are connected to remote system nadia via sporadic slip con- nections between luva and nadia. local setha <=====ed0=====> local luva <-----sl0-----> remote nadia I have to configure either the resolver or named (preferred) in order to connect to the outside world (via slip). Now the problem: if the slip connection isn't active (99 % of the time) a simple `telnet setha' needs between 2..3 minutes to be built because either the resolver or the nameserver are queried endless times before the connaect is actually made, grrrrr. Is there any workaround? (Please no answers like connect forever to the world :-) -Michael -- ------------------------------+------------------------------ Michael Giegerich | migieger@luva.lb.bawue.de ------------------------------+------------------------------
