Re: Telnet promt delay ....

That's because 127.0.0.1 is known...lookin your /etc/hosts file.

If you want to get rid of the delay, you're either going to have to set up
reverse resolution for each system on the DNS server, or you're going to
have to enter each IP of the client machines into the server's /etc/host
file.
