Im running a IB6 CS on machine A. Machine A and B run apache/php4/ibase
all updated to the newest versions (except interbase CS). The servers
are both linux debian servers - also fairly updated.

If a php script running on A connects to IB (on A) the script seems to
freeze for 10-30 sec. - but not always. If the same script is run on
machine B, no problems arise. Also if the database is moved to B and the
script is run on A the problems disappear? What should I look fore?

inet config? dns? or....

Also, in the interbase home dir, there are isc_init1.a.domain.com and
isc_lock1.a.domain.com. If I add a serveralias, say database.domain.com
to be the same server as "a", do I then need to somehow genereate the
files isc_init1.database.domain.com and isc_lock1.database.domain.com?
If so, how?
