From: Terence [mailto:terencel@sunway.edu.my] Thanks Stefan, you're welcome :-)
Is the same thing happening when I connect? If I'm allowing my host say, 172.16.0.5 to connect (speficied in the input rule) and the "deny the rest" command set, it takes about 30 seconds-1 minute for me to connect. Once I'm connected there's no problem. I checked the man pages and there's no option (if in fact it's also doing lookups on a connect). Any ideas?
hmm, i'm not sure 'bout that one ... perhaps it's looking hostnames up for logging? you can always enter the specified hosts in you're /etc/hosts -file, that will speed things up. regards, stefan
