What's the problem? Who care's about host name lookups? Is there a security issue with DNS activity? Why do you want to circumscribe outbound access so tightly? It's inbound connections you need to be concerned about.

I don't suppose there is any way to prevent all of these hostname lookups (since they are obviously sommething somewhat recent)? For bash I can just tell ZoneAlarm to ignore it, and all is well, but since applications like vim seem to be doing the same thing (and yes I removed \h from my PS1 line, just to be sure), the whole point of installing ssh (to get sshd working) has gone out the window since anytime I run a program that uses hostname, ZoneAlarm will complain on my local desktop, and my remote session will hang (Obviously, I could let all outgoing programs access the internet freely, but preventing that is half the reason I run ZoneAlarm in the first place)
Thanks again, Geoff
