I get the same thing when i list my rules. it used to happen to me with ipchains as well. I think the others are right when they say that its trying to resolve the addresses but it might not necessarily mean that you have a faulty DNS. alot of my rules dont specify 1 host, they specify a subnet and it still takes time for iptables to list the rules... it might be a small bug that iptables is trying to lookup the name for a subnet address...i thought it would be a little smarter to know that 10.3.2.0/24 isn't a host rather a subnet and therefore shouldn't try to do a lookup... anyway, do what the others suggested ipchains -nL On Mon, 2003-02-17 at 16:36, Jean-Christian Imbeault wrote: > When I try and print out my iptable rules using iptables -L, it takes > about three minutes for the rules to print out (and there are only 9 of > them). > > Why is does this take so long?
