how to disable hostname lookups for network services?

807557Jan 17 2008 — edited Jan 18 2008
Hello,

I just installed Solaris 10, and am noticing that connecting to the server is taking a long time (~30sec.).

I have set LookupClientHostnames to "no" on ssh, however in general, I do not want to lookup hostnames for any private IPs.

If I add my IP into /etc/hosts, everything works great. The problems is that my machines are all assigned IPs through DHCP, so I do not know what they will be ahead of time. Is there any way to disable this functionality?

Thanks.
