I'm not saying "don't do it" (the option is there in case you >need to do it) but rather "try everything else first". The DNS lookup has little cost when you manage the clients' DNS, and you make sure they all have good DNS. But for users connecting from the world, there will be delays. I need speed, rather than hostnames in the logs. And Kerberos is not a concern (for me). _______________________________________________ Imap-uw mailing list [email protected] https://mailman1.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/imap-uw
