Is there a way to prevent rsyncd from doing reverse IP lookups on connecting clients? I didn't find any config option for this. There are several situations where these lookups will always fail and uselessly slow down the connection. One such situation is when using rsync on a small home network to do backups to a NAS. Is there a solution to this, without telling people to set up a local DNS server or use a different home router (which is generally also the DNS server)? Thanks, MI

I'd suggest adding any local-net entries to your /etc/hosts file so that rsync's name lookup uses that information. ..wayne..
