I think the DNS lookups occur because it (unintentionally?) looks up the machine's name from DNS, or something like that. Wasn't that what the Mandriva bug report earlier linked to from this thread talked about? If the machine's name service APIs then don't recognize its own name without DNS lookups, you might get delays. --tml --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
