Hi;

I am using FreeBSD-5.3 as a terminal server for a few thin client machines.
I have the inside network interface configured so:

ifconfig_xl0="inet 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 media 100baseTX mediaopt 
full-duplex"

and the outside interface is from DHCP.

The clients are configured similarly 172.16.0.2, 172.16.0.3, etc.

In the /etc/hosts files, I have:

172.16.0.1      tserv
172.16.0.2      gu2
172.16.0.3      gu3

/etc/nsswitch.conf is the default:

group: compat
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nis
shells: files


I am using kdm and xdmcp to connect. When the client connects I get
a message that says:

"DNS spoof attempt or misconfigured resolver."

The main symptom though is that programs are extremely slow to start
up, and menus react very slowly.

I am connected through a hub (not a switch) but I have had this system
set up like this before (using FreeBSD 4.8) and it was much more
responsive.

What am I missing?
