Here is another list of things I think Rupert> could be relevant. Hi Rupert, The mystery deepens since I looked at your configs and compared with mine, and they are the same. The thing is, uh, when I run strace I see the same thing happen. I can see a query going to my local name server. I've never noticed this because (a) I don't use telnet and (b) my nameserver responds quickly enough that I don't notice any wierd delay. Now I'm really interested in the solution for your problem. Sorry I can't give you a solution ;-) Incidentally, ssh does not do this odd lookup and works exactly how I'd have expected telnet to. Cheers!
