The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.7
 - Softimage 3D for Windows NT, version 3.7
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
SYMPTOMS
========
 
Performance problems occur during the connection between license clients
and the Server.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
This may be a result of a delay in the connection caused by DNS / YP
lookups.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Speed up the connection with specific machines by entering the details of
the license server in the local host file of the client. You must also
modify the /etc/resolv.conf to make sure the host file is read before the
yellow pages (make sure local comes before bind or NIS).
 
STATUS
======
 
This behavior is by design.
