FW: ssh and resolv.conf question

[Didier Wiroth]

The reverse lookup zone is installed and works but, it did not resolve the
problem!

Adding nameserver 192.168.0.2 or nameserver 127.0.0.1 as first entry in
resolve.conf still produces the extreme delay (30-40 sec) between the
username and password prompt with an ssh client??!!

When I remove these entries an add two external dns servers, the problem is
solved, why?

Thanks for any help

Setting up reverse DNS, or adding the machines to /etc/hosts will almost 
certainly help with that sort of delay.  Note that you should probably only
use 
a "search" line, not "domain" and "search".
