I have traced the code right through from the route "getdomainfo" and yes there is a problem there. The resolver ignores the order in the /etc/resolv.conf file and does a BIND lookup first (it just starts at index 0 and progresses forwards). I havent got a fix yet as time ran out but Ill get back to it later this week. I temporarily solved my problem by: 1: specifying all hosts in the rooute as IP numbers 2: adding a route to myself via localhost again specifying numbers not names this way I get instant startup. If I use names it can take up to 3 minutes as all BIND requests get sent out from the route commands e.g. excerpt from start.slip script: echo "Clearing routes" route -q flush echo "Clearing ifnets" ifconfig sl0 delete ifconfig sl1 delete echo "setting hostname" hostname ozyd13-p$1.ozy.dec.com echo "attach sl0 to /dev/ttyd1" slattach -a -s 57600 -h /dev/ttyd1 echo "configuring sl0" ifconfig sl0 inet ozyd13-p$1 mtu $2 compress up echo "adding default" route add default 16.153.192.20$1 #echo "adding local loop" route add -host 16.153.192.20$1 127.0.0.1 echo "netstats" netstat -r netstat -i echo "ifconfig" ifconfig sl0 -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Dr Jon Jenkins Location: Digital Equipment Corporation NaC Voice/Fax: 61-7-55-75-0151/100 Burnett Place, Research Park, Inet: jenkinsj@ozy.dec.com Bond University, Gold Coast Close Proximity: "HEY YOU !!!"
