Hi

after I installed DA, i noticed that our dns doesn't resolve as fast as i hoped it would be.

is there some way to make it resolve faster?

i hears of opendns, is this a good alternative? will this work with directadmin? if so, how?
 
Are you talking about resolving names *from* your server? i.e. "host google.com" on your server?
 
no, i mean the domains that are hosted on my server.

it seems to resolve slower than others.

is it because bind is also on the same server ?
 
what about using openDNS?

would that be a better option?

this is under a heavy traffic server running on quad core w/ 12 gb ram

network is a multi-homed hybrid
