Things will be slow when some application gets a connection from a machine with a private IP address and does a reverse lookup on this IP. Things will time out before you get anything working. You can either do the quick fix that Eric Rosel recommended, or you can set up a reverse lookup DNS server. You can use djbdns, maraDNS, or BINDv9 (I highly recommend against using older versions of BIND for security reasons. I highly recommend you use djbdns.). If you're interested in using djbdns, you can get tips from: <http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html> <http://www.lifewithdjbdns.org/> Good luck. --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
