forwarder (YES/NO)

[Pol Hallen]

Hi all :-)

I've a quad core 2.4Ghz with standard italian DSL

I tested BIND with either forwarder activated and disactivated

        forwarders {
                8.8.8.8; 8.8.4.4;
        };

without forwarder, using dig command, "query time" only on some domains 
(I tested italian domains - I live in Italy) is 350-800ms, with 
forwarder almost always is less 100ms (!)

I'd like have my BIND (no forwarder) that works for my lan :-)

how can I optimize BIND speed? (or maybe I've a wrong config?)

thanks for any help

Pol
