Found the problem... It was in fact 'slow', although so slow I had to wait
almost 10 minutes for it to come up... a lot longer than I usually would
for dnslookups.
For others searching the archives on similar problems, my tcpserver was
already running with the -H option... It turned out to be the localhost
lookup that was killing me, not the remote lookup. It selected the
servers -internal- IP address, 192.168.1.1 to lookup instead of the external
IP address. Naturally this did not resolve. Anyway, the problem was solved
by specifying tcpserver -l 0 option.
Thanks for the help,
Peter
