i think DNS is enough. if glen can setup a reverse
proxy dns for all the IPs in his network, it should
give the server's resolver the proper ip when DNS is
queried therefore making it easier for the ftp server
to do the look up.

Um, well, that might not hurt, but the purpose here was to make ftpd not take
so long to start talking to the client (the windows

No, I don't think so. All the machines are technically workstations, a desktop, a
laptop, and a win machine. Mandrake ICS is setup, but I haven't manually
configured much of anything on them, yet. I'd just like to be able to easily

I'm using MDK 8, 2.4.3, no updates, and ProFTPD on 2 different

ftp server of either machine, from either a win or linux client, I get a
delay of up to 30 seconds before the connection is made. Then, after
