Awesome! Thanks very much - exactly what I was looking for. I'm in the field and was under the gun, otherwise would have checked the manuals first.

Again, thanks.

Recently I had to start monitoring the firewall traffic on this intranet,

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?
