I tried this with one workstation and it cleared up the problem from that
workstation right away. That seems to be the problem in a nutshell.
I'm still wondering, though, if there's some other way to discourage the box
from doing a reverse lookup for each IP. I really don't want to have to enter
800+ IP addresses and bogus hostnames into /etc/hosts.
If anyone has any insight or advice on how to disable this reverse lookup
"feature" please post.
Thanks,
Tom
