Yes, that's exactly what the link from Hassan said to do.
Interestingly, what is not stated in that link is that you must add
entries in mysql tables 'db' and 'user' for '127.0.0.1' (a.k.a.
'localhost') if you need to access the database from the local server.
Remote access via static IP (assuming those entries were already in 'db'
and 'user') work fine, but 'localhost' no longer works after the reboot.

Awesome! Thanks very much - exactly what I was looking for. I'm in
the field and was under the gun, otherwise would have checked the
manuals first.
Again, thanks.

Recently I had to start monitoring the firewall traffic on
this intranet,
and discovered the MySQL server is routinely sending
queries to the main DNS
server (outside the firewall). I suspect the server is
performing "reverse
DNS lookups" for some reason.
Is there a quick way of disabling these calls to the DNS
server?
