I guess if you just take the DNS server entries out of the box it wont
resolve.

[FW-1] DNS Overhead






I've noticed that there is a lot of DNS traffic from our Checkpoint
firewall simply doing reverse lookups, I assume in order to log IP names
in the logs. Logging IP addresses would be fine for us.  Is there a way
in Checkpoint to turn this off and eliminate this DNS overhead? Thanks.
