I am pretty new to networking. I have three machines. One, bigdog, is acting as a gateway/firewall.
I am working from sage. The routing table is: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default bigdog.my.home 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 When I try to ssh to bigdog, there is about a 45 second delay - but only when bigdog is not connected to the net. I presume that there is an attempt to do a DNS lookup. My host.conf file specifies: order hosts, bind What am I missing. I can't seem to find anything in the documentation. Thanks for any help.
