RE: [PLUG] DNS question

["George Gallen" <ggallen@slackinc.com>]

but if it's in the /etc/hosts file, it SHOULD have a reverse entry.

If it's the ftp server doing the reverse lookup, I would think the
pause would occur whether I'm using IP direct or a DNS (the server
side shouldn't have any way to know if I used DNS to get it's address).

I'm ftping out to another machine, For now I can use direct IP, but
it's easier to use a label in case the IP changes I only have to change
it in one place (/etc/hosts).
