identd and backresolving



Hi!

I'm facing very strange and annoying problem;
The identd (pidentd) refuses to backresolve addresses.
The point is that it worked some time before, I've done some changes in
configuration, I don't remember what exactly what, but since then it
ceased working.
It can backresolve from hosts but not bind, here's example from system
logs:

Feb  7 23:01:07 mapc identd[1069]: Connection from mapc.dyn.ml.org
Feb  7 23:01:24 mapc identd[1069]: from: 199.203.102.100 ( mapc.dyn.ml.org
) for: 3401, 113

This one has entry in /etc/hosts but via bind:

Feb  7 23:02:06 mapc identd[1076]: Connection from 132.68.7.4
Feb  7 23:02:07 mapc identd[1076]: from: 132.68.7.4 ( 132.68.7.4 ) for:
3826, 110

doesn't backresolve.

That DOESN'T have to do anything with the identd daemon itself, since it
worked before, and I even tried other version - same thing.

Here some files:
/etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 194.90.1.5
search netvision.net.il technion.ac.il 

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost       localhost.localdomain
199.203.102.100 mapc.dyn.ml.org mapc.org.il     mapc

/etc/host.conf
order hosts,bind
multi on
trim mapc.dyn.ml.org

hmm..that's all I can think about.
Note when using named (caching only) it was the same.
