Has anyone run into AXIS doing a reverse DNS lookup of an IP address? My network has a dedicated line connecting it to a private network for which we don't have DNS entries. When I use an IP address to call a web service they provide I get about a 20 second lag. We finally put a packet sniffer on the line to track it down. It appears that AXIS is attempting to do a DNS lookup, probably a reverse DNS lookup, before communicating with the service. Adding an entry in the Host file for the IP address solves the problem.
Can anyone explain what is going on? Why AXIS would need to do a reverse DNS lookup on an IP address, if that's what it is doing? I don't see anything in the AXIS docs on it. Thanks, Dustin
