The Problem is the DNS, when you list the rules, it trys to resolv the =
direction, try this iptables -L -n this list rules and no resolv the =
directions

  Subject: delay when listing iptables rules


  I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I was unable =
to find anything similar in the archives.

  Here is the behavior I am noticing.  If I bring up my firewall with my =
internet connection down and type iptables --list I get a complete =
listing of all my rules immediately.  If I then bring up my internet =
connection and run iptables --list again it shows most of the first 5 =
rules, pauses for about 5 seconds, displays most of the remaining rules, =
pauses for 5 seconds again, and then finished listing the remaining =
rules.  Is this normal?  Would an upgrade to the latest release of =
iptables fix this?

  Everything seems to work fine, even with the lag in listing the rules.

  I'm running Mandrake 8.0 with 2.4.3 and iptables 1.2.1-4.

  Thanks.

  Chris W
