Local Debian Based Web Server. Slow when accessed via domain name, but fast via local IP

  • 772

I have a local web server and the following situation:

  • Accessing web server externally via domain name and IP works
  • Accessing web server internally via local IP works
  • Accessing web server internally via external IP works
  • Accessing web server internally via domain name is SLOW

I know I can just edit the HOSTS file on all the machines here but that is not a solution for me. (I could also set up a DNS server, but I've tried and I can't get it to work, it's a pain)

Any idea why this is happening?

    It's timing out trying to resolve. You can either add it to /etc/hosts or specify a DNS server (you could even use Google's public DNS 8.8.8.8)
