Ok, stupid question time.  :-)

I'm trying to do the correct, longterm solution for the following
problem.  When I ssh into my board (running dropbear-0.49), if I don't
have the client's ip address and hostname in /etc/hosts (on the board),
it'll take over a minute to log in.  Presumably hung on gethostbyname()
or similar.

Adding the name and ip to /etc/hosts is fine while I'm putzing around,
but once I deploy it, I can't guarantee what network (crossover cable?)
it'll be on, or what the client ip or hostname will be.  I'm using
udhcpc to bring the device up and I've used
/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script to dynamically write the
/etc/resolv.conf file based on input from the network's dhcp server.
But nothing I've tried works.

Has anyone encountered this?  What's the proper fix?

thx,

Jason.
