The -n flag disables DNS > resolution, which is why it's so much faster. Do 'netstat -rn' once and record the RFC1918 addresses that @Home is using. Then add the appropriate entries to /etc/hosts. After that, you can do 'netstat -r' and the RFC1918 addresses will be resolved from /etc/hosts, which is much, much faster. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
