Re: small network problem

[Bill Katsma <bkatsma@xxxxxxxx>]

I am doing everything by IP.  There should be no DNS lookup involved.
Actually I just added some DNS servers to my resolv.conf and it is
working like a champ.

Could some one explain why this would do this.  Why does it need to do
reverse lookup if I am using IP addresses and not names.
