Due to storm related damage my ISP went out for a few (12) hours earlier in the week and while I got it usable without a Internet connection by putting everything in my LAN in /etc/hosts (I also run a local_unbound --> local bind9 on my file server which I have created a zone file for the LAN machines also), but it was very slow in booting due to ntpdate, tomcat and sendmail not being to connect to the Internet for either forward or reverse DNS. I don't want to turn these services off, but I want to be able to do a normal boot (no long hangs) if the ISP goes down again. What is the best way to do this? -- Aryeh M.
