So how do you disable the DNS lookups?
I've got:
hosts, bind
in the appropriate file (not at my linux box so I can't remember the
exact name and synax), but when I ftp to the machine (even from
itself), the timeout happens.
i.e., if I'm on machine1
and ftp machine1
the reverse lookup happens and it takes a long time.
These machines are a local network that uses one machine as a dialup
gateway to the internet. When the dialup connection is on, there is
no delay with ftp, but when the connection is not on, the delay
happens.
Any explict suggestions?
Thanks,
Dave
