resolver issues in FreeBSD-5.2.1

[Jesse Guardiani]

Howdy list,

I'm seeing some delays while trying to use just
/etc/hosts without an actual name server under
5.2.1-RELEASE.

Specifically, I run a test Qmail server on my laptop,
and it's pausing for 5 or 6 seconds trying to resolve
my laptop's host name for incoming local connections.

DHCP is off, fresh reboot, all interfaces down except
loopback...

Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas to fix it?
