Bind hangs

[Gary Wardell]

Hi,

You might look at the log file and see what named was doing when it hung. 
 It it's repeatable you might turn on the debugging to get a better 
picture.

I have a hanging problem and traced it to a lookup of a particular server 
(adsdl.conducent.com).  And this is repeatable.  This server is used by 
TimeSink's AdBot so it appeared to be unrelated to what the users were 
doing.

Gary
