That's right. The ipchains command is trying to map IP numbers
to hostnames. If you wanted IP numbers use the -n option. If you
want hostnames set up /etc/hosts or named correctly.

No it isn't correct - it just fails faster. The pop server is
trying to do a reverse look up of the client's address to find
out who it is. You do not have a correct /etc/hosts or a local
authoritative name server. With diald running there is a path
to the root name servers that "everything" knows about as a
last resort. Without diald running there are no options left
and the look up fails immediately.
