Hi Payal,

If its a DNS problem you should take a look at the Cache Manager in=20
general runtime information there is a section called =A8Median Service=20
Times=A8 if your DNS lookups are taking a long time you should see it here =

, for example below:

Median Service Times (seconds) 5 min 60 min:
HTTP Requests (All): 0.02317 0.02899
Cache Misses: 0.28853 0.25890
Cache Hits: 0.00379 0.00379
Near Hits: 0.24524 0.18699
Not-Modified Replies: 0.00286 0.00379
DNS Lookups: 0.00094 0.00094
ICP Queries: 0.00085 0.00096

In some cases we have seen the DNS lookups @ 1.00032 or something like=20
that and its usually been a local problem with named, either way the=20
cache manager might be able to give you some other informaton that will=20
help you find where your problem is, ive found it very usefull at times.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Richard
