DNS Resolution of Host Names

You might encounter slow response time with Domain Name System (DNS) resolution of host names for data sources. Consider using the IP Address in the ODBC DSN configuration to avoid DNS lookups. You can also modify the hosts file for your server to avoid DNS lookups. For Windows platforms, this file is typically C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. For UNIX platforms, the file is etc/hosts.
