NFS & DNS Lookups

Hi All

I have just installed a machine with Redhat 8. I have set up the NFS 
server on it like I did with the linux server which was previously in it's 
place(an earlier version of redhat). But it seems like NFS now does DNS 
forward and reverse lookups on the domain that is placed in the exports 
file. If the results of these lookups do not match exactly then NFS server 
denies the connection with the client.

I need to turn this feature off, but cannot find how to do it in the man 
pages or how-to's.

Could some please point me in the right direction ?


Thanks

Wayne
