------------------
DNS. Or rather reverse lookup. Add a local (within LAN) DNS server with forward and reverse entries for your local machines and make sure this server is queried first. Your problem of "late prompt" will disappear.
----------------- I only have one Linux Server in the LAn with Sendmail + Squid running. Do I need to configure bind for DNS, or is there a simpler way. Thx, Vai.
