I notice that the following two invocations of netstat have drastically different execution times:
netstat netstat -n When you just use numerical addresses, it executes almost instantly, but with the domain names and whatever you call those logical names for the port numbers, such as 'www', it takes quite while ( 5-10 seconds). Not a big deal, but just made me think. Surely the name resolution isn't that costly is it? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
