I have no control over someone else's broken DNS. What am I supposed to do to work around the error? This happens every time an external client attempts to connect to a service here, (fielded by inetd). for reference line 5 in /etc/hosts.allow is: ALL : speedtrap.centropolisfx.com : deny an attempt at blocking one of these places with broken DNS.
