What you both have said is rather interesting. First I only have a reverse address for 0.0.254.169 not for X.X.co.za. Secondly, I don't have entries in the hosts file for the workstations on the network. When I disable pop in the xinet.d it doesn't dial out, but then pop doesn't work. I have no idea how to configure pop not to look for client IP's.

Your named should first of all look into hosts file. If it finds the info there, should not go further. Some POP servers can be configured to "not to look for IP of the client". > > Best regards > "Jersey" > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Frey [mailto:markfrey@sympatico.ca] > Sent: 31 July 2003 14:08 > To: Mirco Ellis; linux-diald@vger.kernel.org > Subject: Re: named triggers diald > > > Hi Mirco, > > You might try running tcpdump on the diald proxy interface (tap0?) and > get more detail on exactly what named is trying to look up.
