I've been having slow Web page loading for several weeks now. Finally, I ran tests against a couple of Windows boxes, and isolated the problem to my LL box.
The status bar of the browser almost always hangs for a second or more on "Resolving host...". This doesn't happen on the other units. All units are set to get their DNS addresses from the local router, which in turn points to quality DNS services such as OpenDNS. My Linux box is on ethernet, and I've tried Windows boxes on both ethernet and wifi.
It seemed odd that this would happen even when I had visited the same domain just prior, so I began to suspect the DNS cache. I did a little research and ran the command sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart, and got back: "command not found"
I ran service nscd restart, and got back "unrecognized service".
It seems that I don't have DNS cache running on this machine. That would explain the problem. Does anyone have any insight on how to troubleshoot or rectify this?
Thanks.
