The system you are trying to telnet to is trying to lookup the name of the host you are coming from so it can log it. >Why consult the resolver?

What you are describing is a DNS timeout...If you want it to work faster in this situation, then change /etc/host.conf to list hosts first, then bind and add the necessary information in your /etc/hosts file. ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa, Network Admin * mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications Corp, * http://www.sentex.net/mike Cambridge, Ontario * 01.519.651.3400 Canada * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
