I have a second machine (a Mac, as it happens) on my home network. I don't run a local DNS. When I telnet or ftp into my FreeBSD machine from my Mac, the connection takes about 30 or 40 seconds to come up. However when I turn on my dialup Internet connection (which coincidentally is on the Mac -- I use the Mac as a router, using third-party routing software called IPNetrouter) my telnet and ftp connections to FreeBSD come up right away, as they should. What I think must be happening is that when my Net connection is down, FreeBSD must be trying to do DNS resolution, retrying a few times, and then giving up. How do I tell telnet and ftp on FreeBSD to not do DNS lookups when receiving connection requests? Or do you think something else is going on?
