Hi Nathan,
I had the same problem. I have a similar situation, and my system handles
DNS by himself.
Although I may swear about the functionality and setup of my DNS, I had to
force the
-l <name.of.my.system>
parameter in the tcpserver line. Having this, tcpserver assume
<name.of.my.system> to be the name of the answering computer and avoid to
make an extra call to DNS (that's the call that slowered all for me, don't
ask me why).
Hope this help.
