Hi,
Know what ya mean, just log in al Imp and type 'slowns' (slow name-
server, which is your prob.). This will make the MUD not want to
look up ip adresses and eliminate your problem.
You can also try to set the resolving of the system your MUD
runs on to a faster, more reliable nameserver. (On unix this
will be /etc/resolv.conf) Or for the real hero, set up a
caching-only DNS on your MUD's machine and resolve via that
one.
Good luck,
Martijn

Subject: [CIRCLE] [CODE] gethostbyaddr
Hi all,
First of all, sorry about my poor english and my little knowledge
about C proggramming.
I'm getting some problems with lag that gethostbyaddr function
causes when the player is logging on the mud.
My doubt is: is there a way to make gethostbyaddr runs in the
background? I have saw it on a mud but I have no ideia how to make
this...
If somebody don't understand what I'm trying to say, please let me
know... I'm so bad of writing in english... :^)

Best regards,
Marcelus
