Hi,

I am working with an EMC NAS and it uses the Microsoft Shared Folders MMC 
plugin to manage the CIFS shares, sessions, and open files.  Shares and open 
files work, but sessions hang because for each session the MMC plugin attempts 
to do a forward and reverse DNS lookup on the client name and IP and times out. 
 Since we are not a complete Microsoft AD shop (we use bind), our clients do 
not have dns records.  I am wondering if:

1. Is it possible to turn off the reverse DNS lookups in the Shared Folders MMC 
plugin (preferred solution)

2. If not #1, would it be possible to have a 'fake' dns server that just 
returns the the query information and the answer.  Then I could just point a 
single management client to the 'fake' server and still get session mgmt 
working.

cheers,

ski
