if we disable the Reverse DNS lookup in QMGR property using ALTER QMGR command , do we need to restart the queue manager to take that into affect?
Also is there any other place we need to change the setting, as we are receiving
the below error in our QMGR logs
AMQ9788W: Slow DNS lookup for address '
An attempt to resolve address '11.122.133.44' using the 'getnameinfo' function
call took 4 seconds to complete. This might indicate a problem with the DNS
configuration.
ACTION:
Ensure that DNS is correctly configured on the local system.
If the address was an IP address then the slow operation was a reverse DNS
lookup. Some DNS configurations are not capable of reverse DNS lookups and some
IP addresses have no valid reverse DNS entries. If the problem persists,
consider disabling reverse DNS lookups until the issue with the DNS can be |

I didn't think you needed to restart the queue manager to pick up a change to REVDNS. There is nowhere else to configure for control of reverse lookups apart from ALTER QMGR REVDNS.
If you have made the change and are still see the quoted error message then perhaps you do have to do a restart. I would be interested in your result as I didn't think you needed the restart.
Cheers,
Morag

Hi Morag, thank you, we didn't restart the queue manager.

Typically, ALTER commands do not need a restart while changes made in the qm.ini file do.
Your error message kinda tells you the QM is trying to do DNS lookups, so your change worked.
Take MQ out of it. When you do DNS lookups for random IPs from the command line using the 'getnameinfo' function call, are you having to wait a long time for the results?

Seems like I have no access to run this function on LINUX. |

Its a function. I don't know of any native LINUX shell command that calls this function. You could write a program or script to call it.
eg. I found the following python code:
python -c 'import socket;print socket.getnameinfo(("192.125.113.222",0),0)'
returns
('mythicalhost.com', '0')

Hi Morag, we did change the REVDNS and it didn't required a restart and it worked. |

Good to know - that was my understanding too. Thanks for looping back to confirm.
Cheers,
