OK, further to my previous post, it seems to be something to do
with gethostbyname()? In previous kernel versions, this function
did not require named to be running, and quickly returned a
"don't know" type of response. Now, it seems much slower.

This is based on a very quick observation... sorry, can't be any
more help, have to disappear from a Linux machine for six weeks due
to family illness.

Anyone having problems with this combination? (Sendmail is compiled
against glibc on this i586). 2.1.126 works just fine, 2.1.127-pre3
slows right down... takes about 20 seconds to start, and doesn't
respond to incoming connects for a very long time.

Seems to be waiting on a call to select(5, ...) I'd do some more
tracing but am forced to use Windoze only for the next six weeks.
Not happy.

Back to 2.1.126 for now.
