RHL 6.1 has the identd service enabled by default. A reverse DNS look
up is performed when a host tries to access a service provided by the
Linux server like telnet/FTP/POP3 etc.
It first looks in the /etc/hosts table for the mappings and then the
DNS server. This will cause a delay since there are no entries for the
hosts in either the hosts table or the DNS finally timing out.
Solutions -
a) Add entries for all the hosts in /etc/hosts
b) Maintain a DNS server
c) Stop the identd from /etc/inetd.conf
