nscd cacher problem
 

I am running nscd-2.12-2.i686 on F13.

my /etc/resolv.conf contains:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
followed by other nameservers from my provider.
I am using the default nscd.conf file

My email client is Thunderbird.

Every time i check for email, or send a message,
thunderbird takes it many seconds to find the ip address
of pop.gmail.com

Similarly, firefox takes it sometimes almost 60 seconds to resolve
web site ip addresses.

Mu machine is not loaded at all. I have other
machines (windows) on same subnet and are mostly quiet,
but they do not have this problem.

What do I need to do as far as configuration to make nscd a better cacher?

This has nothing to do with nscd. You most likely have IPv6 interfaces
configured and your ISP simply doesn't handle IPv6 name lookups (AAAA)
and ignores them. This is causing timeouts which explain the long timeouts.

If you don't need IPv6 internally configure your system to not bring up
IPv6 interfaces.

How do I even find out that ipv6 is enabled?

$ grep ip6 /etc/sysctl.conf
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0

I checked on all running services' .conf files and none of them enable
nor require ipv6.
