We are a small ISP, and just turned up a new webserver running Free4.3 Most of our customers live on private (192.168) addresses and I am getting slaughtered with phone calls that they cannot ftp into their sites, and it is because their ftp programs don't necessarily wait for Free's ftpd to timeout doing the reverse lookup, for an address that of course does not have any reverse information for it. If I add their IP to the /etc/hosts BOOM they get in instantly. These thousands of addresses are all dynamically assigned, so the hosts file fix is not possible on this scale. Is there a way I can get it to stop? HELP! Dan. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
