# Do not perform ident nor DNS lookups (hangs when the port is filtered)
TimesGMT                        off
IdentLookups                    off
UseReverseDNS                   off

# begin global -- do not delete
MaxClients 100000
IdentLookups off
# end global -- do not delete

Still very slow to login with FTP :-/

I reckon I have my DNS setup fine - same as all my BQ boxes which don't have this issue.
