Is there some thing for nfs to suppress reverse lookup, like in
/etc/inetd.conf you can supress reverse lookup for rshd and rexecd by
using a -c option, is there any thing for nfsd too????
Thanks for your help.

1. wu-ftpd is slow, how to suppress DNS lookups?
I have wu-ftpd 2.6.0 running on my RedHat 6.2 Linux machine. When I try to
FTP to this machine, wu-ftpd sits there for about 30 seconds before
displaying a login prompt. I used tcpdump to watch what it's doing.
wu-ftpd is querying the name server defined in /etc/resolv.conf. If this
name server is unable to respond, I have to wait for about 30 seconds until
it times out. Then I'll get my FTP login prompt after the timeout.
I have two questions:
1. Why does wu-ftpd insist on querying a name server when all the relevant
host info is locally-available in /etc/hosts?
2. How can I get wu-ftpd to stop with the lookups!?! A "man ftpaccess"
reveals that there's a new option called "dns resolveroptions". I've tried
some options such as "-dnsrch" to no avail. Will any of these options be of
use to me?
In my search for answers, the following post is the closest I've come to
coming to a solution:

This post seems to contain good advice. My /etc/hosts, however, is correct.
And all my programs, with the sole exception of wu-ftpd, are able to resolve
a name or IP address using /etc/hosts. Why can't wu-ftpd?
Please help.
