Vicki, a couple of comments: 1. If this is an intel 430TX chipset based board then you're never going to be able to cache more than 64Mb of your RAM. There is a performance hit in this uncached memeory; and it's one of the reasons that I've stuck to my ASUS XP55T2P4 v3.1 motherboard. On th

I know of none - i think this is coded into the logging feature of the telnetd daemon - if you looked at the sources 800+ IP addresses should be documented somehow/somewhere - perhaps a perl script could create a hosts file - barring that, i would write a perl script ot generate a fake host

I tried this with one workstation and it cleared up the problem from that workstation right away. That seems to be the problem in a nutshell. I'm still wondering, though, if there's some other way to discourage the box from doing a reverse lookup for each IP. I really don't want to have to ente
