Fix for weird (slow) DNS lookup issue
Raw
fix-slow-dns-lookup.sh
# Must be run as root
# Run dnsmasq
dnsmasq
# Run nscd
nscd
# Add 'options single-request' to /etc/resolv.conf (see below)
echo 'options single-request' >> /etc/resolv.conf
# If *that* doesn't work, may need to add a reasonable DNS
# echo -e "nameserver 8.8.8.8 \noptions single-request" > /etc/resolv.conf
# Thanks to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75770 !
