Re: flexfax: IP traffic

[Damian Ivereigh <damian@cisco.com>]

Sounds like you need a caching name server on your RH box, or maybe find
a way to frig it so that the RH box is an authorative nameserver for
your little net - i.e. avoid name lookups going onto the net. Its a
tricky problem - DNS doesn't work very well in this situation.
