Slow DNS seach

[Jean-Marc Bourguet <jm@bourguet.org>]

I've upgrated to woody and I get the following behavior:

telnet localhost

is very slow (15s) to get the telnet answer (Trying 127.0.0.1) and
then another 15s to get the prompt.

I think this is related to ipv6 because

telnet -4 localhost

is quick to get the telnet answer but still slow to get the prompt.

If I remove the "dns" in

hosts: files dns

then I get a quick telnet answer and a quick prompt.

I assume telnet (without the -4) and telnetd first try to find an IPv6
record, timeout and revert to the IPv4 one.

FWIW, the kernel is compiled without IPv6 support.

My question is: how to get quick answer for hosts in the /etc/hosts
file without removing DNS support?

Yours,
