Well, after the 30 virtual web server (domain) and 60 dialup
lines, some times, the DNS aswer a query as "not found",
being it perfectly existant. The problem wasn't performance.
The documentation of the product says it can only process
5 queries at a time (literally it says "it is hard wired").
We tested the bind DNS, and the problem went away.
We have 2 DNS servers, both dual pentium 133, with
64MB ram, one with NT 4 and the other with NT 3.51, both
had the same problem.
