Sounds like you just need to turn off "Resolve IP" in your checkpoing log viewer.
Checkpoint only records ip's in it's log files.

Subject: [FW-1] DNS Overhead


I've noticed that there is a lot of DNS traffic from our Checkpoint
firewall simply doing reverse lookups, I assume in order to log IP names
in the logs. Logging IP addresses would be fine for us.  Is there a way
in Checkpoint to turn this off and eliminate this DNS overhead? Thanks.
