<sect1> dod_forwarddns: I have set up my name server in 'forward' mode,
with one forward address. Now it dials out about every minute?
<label id="dod_forwarddns">
<p>
From time to time, the name server will query its forwarderi, which will
trigger a dialout. Since your ISP uses dynamic ip addresses, the request
is sent out with the wrong ip address at startup of the dial-in connection.
Therefore, no answer will be received. Bind waits for one minute
before resubmitting. Since your line has come down in the mean time, this
will trigger a new dialout, resulting in a different ip address, and so on...
Workaround: enter 4 forwarders in the 'forwarders' section of named.conf
(you can enter 4 times the same ip address).
In 'forward' mode, BIND 8.2.2p5 retransmits its queries after the
following period of time: 60 Seconds divided by the number of nameservers
given in the section "forwarders" of named.conf. With 4 forwarders a
retransmission will be attempted after 15 seconds, in time before the line
would go down.
