It is difficult to be certain of the cause of your problem, because your
explanation is incomplete in several ways. It sounds like you still have a
name resolution problem of some sort ... slow telnet responses are a typical
symptom of that ... but you've told us too little to let me pin it down.
I expect that if you run through the following checklist, somewhere in it
you will find the source of your problem. Please check each of the following:
1. That 192.168.5.3 is the IP address of your Red Hat host.
2. That you do not have a name zone that corresponds to the zone you created
for reverse lookup.
3. That you do not have any entries in your /etc/hosts file.
4. That you do have a file /etc/nsswitch.conf that includes this line:
hosts: files dns
5. That you do have in /etc/resolv.conf the entry
nameserver 127.0.0.1
6. That named.192.168.5 does include a reverse-address for the IP address of
your Windows workstation
7. That you have a line in named.conf that tells named the path to
named.192.168.5 (on my system, for example, a zone entry similar to yours
would contain the full path, or 'file "/etc/bind/named.192.168.5" ').
8. That if you test BIND from the Red Hat machine with "host 192.168.5.X"
(replace X with the right value for the Windows machine), you get a response?
If you have enerything identified in this list correct, please post again,
this time telling us
the hostname and IP address of the Red Hat host
the hostname and IP address of the Windows host
the domain name the LAN uses internally
the complete contents of named.conf
the lines from any zone files listed in named.conf for the
Red Hat host and the Windows host
the telnet service line from /etc/inetd.conf (to verify that
you are using tcpd, which I've assumed)
the contents of /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
the content of the "hosts:" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
the contents of /etc/resolv.conf
