I'm having trouble with running /etc/named under SR 10.2.
It seems to run fine for a while, but if it is idle for very long
(5-10 minutes, maybe longer,...) it then fails to respond within
a reasonable time to a request, and the requestor times out (~30 sec)
if the request is repeated immediately, then it works ok for awhile
again.  Does anybody have any ideas about this?
Pertinant details:
DN3500 8MB w/disk
Ethernet & DomainRing
the node is running routed, but there are no nodes on the ring side
running TCP/IP yet.
The request for name resolution is from an IBM PS/2 on the same Ethernet.
The routed patch m0108 is NOT yet installed (does it matter??).

Thanks,
