Point to an internal dns server
We don't have one.
Is somebody with a weird hostname connecting to your server via ssh ?
Nope. This is occurring while the server's intranet is totally unmanned.

Subject: Stopping DNS Lookups
I have a server that runs only MySQL. It services several other servers
inside a firewalled intranet. All connections to the MySQL database are
done using static IP addresses.
Recently I had to start monitoring the firewall traffic on this
intranet, and discovered the MySQL server is routinely sending queries
to the main DNS server (outside the firewall). I suspect the server is
performing "reverse DNS lookups" for some reason.
Is there a quick way of disabling these calls to the DNS server?
This is a pretty much stock installation of MySQL 5.0.51a on Solaris 10
(AMD 64), 64 bit.
Thanks in advance,
-Richard
