For that matter, how do most people handle temporary address pools? Do they even bother with DNSing them? -- David L. Hares, Senior Staff Programmer
You've got to provide at least the reverse entries. Otherwise, many websites will perform a lookup/timeout cycle that will delay the delivery of pages several seconds (depending on the server). This will make your users believe you have a "slow" connection, because they just see their browser waiting. Of course, you probably then want the forwards, because lots of sites use paranoid wrappers to prevent DNS spoofing, and will deny you access. Just my $0.02 worth. I plan to always DNS forward and reverse my ports. -Rob -- Robert A.
