That could be it.  IIRC, the HTTP server doesn't do reverse lookups but • the
NNTP server does.

Yes, it does.
This is a small log from my firewall, (Cisco PIX 515) where you can see that
the nntp server needs a TCP connection on port 113 (auth ??).

BTW, I have the same troubles that Thomas had, but my wait is usually 30 -
35 seconds long. (as you can see in the logs).

I hope you have some time to investigate the issue.

Cheers
Carlo.

P.S.: sorry for the long lines.....

I think it's doing ident lookups... and I think the reason you have to wait 30 secs or so is cause you're dropping the auth packets and not rejecting them... so it's waiting for an answer. if you modified your firewall to reject connections to (...)
