When you type the command: #route -n you are telling to route that does not try to resolv names. That's why it returns almost immediatly. Nevertheless if your dns server is setup correctly it does not have to take long time in fact the difference is tiny: # time route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 real 0m0.005s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.000s # time route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1 real 0m0.003s user 0m0.010s sys 0m0.000s Regards. ===== -- Sergio Basurto J.
