Reverse DNS issues
I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. My problem is actually in OS X but it involves reverse DNS and I figured that you guys would likely know a lot more about DNS configuration than most Mac users (including myself).
Both ssh and Python's urllib.urlopen are incredibly slow on my machine if I supply them with a hostname (both taking about 30 seconds). If, however, I supply them with an IP, they work almost instantaneously, as expected.
DNS lookups via nslookup work fine on my computer. Someone on
macosx suggested that this was a reverse DNS problem. Awesome, but I have no idea how to correct it. It's certainly not spread across my entire home network, as my WinXP machine is able to use hostnames with ssh and urllib.urlopen without any significant delay.
Can anyone here give me any tips or help me figure this out? I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
