RE: broken dnsservers

Um, well, after following the suggestions in the FAQ (section 14) I'm still
getting stuck dnsservers.

I've fiddled around a bit, and have discovered that the problem is related
to NIS!?!! I get this now in the cache.log:

yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

1998/07/06 17:21:14| ERR_DNS_FAIL: http://www.tompshardware.com/
yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

yp_match: clnt_call: RPC: Timed out

And I get this in /var/log/messages:

Jul 5 23:06:00 franky ypserv[101]: res_mkquery failed
Jul 5 23:06:01 franky ypserv[101]: DNS query failed
Jul 6 00:19:07 franky su: andyf to root on /dev/ttyp2
Jul 6 00:35:30 franky ypserv[101]: res_mkquery failed
Jul 6 00:35:30 franky ypserv[101]: DNS query failed
Jul 6 01:49:32 franky su: andyf to root on /dev/ttyp0
Jul 6 10:21:28 franky ypserv[101]: DNS query failed

Hmmm ...

Pity I can't kill ypserv and ypbind - would probably fix the problem - so
where do I go from here??

I did notice the _SQUID_NEXT_ hack in dnsserver.c which mentions something
about yp, but when I tried it, I got an unresolved __res_getbyhostname().
 Would I have this in another library?

Again, thanks for the help.
