Hi
When i connect to port 25 or port 110 of my Qube 2, the Qube contacts the
DNS Server of my ISP to do a reverse name lookup for the IP address of my
client (the client has an "Class C IP address").
This lookup fails and causes a wasted dial-up connection :(
How can i tell my Qube to resolve this name lookup with the local DNS con-
figuration? DNS is activated on my Qube, i have also entered the hostname
and the IP address. Other clients (they use the Qube as primary DNS) can do
a reverse lookup for this IP address. Only the Qube doesn't :(
Do i have to enter the ip adresses in /etc/hosts of my Qube and put some-
think like "order hosts,bind" in my resolv.conf?
