Maybe I am missing something here.. but what does ‘sudo’ have to do with DNS resolution?

Subject: [CentOS] sudo doing DNS lookup

Hi,

I have a confusing problem. I have two centos 5,5 boxes. Both have
sudo.i386                                1.7.2p1-9.el5_5               installed

I am using the same sudoers file, but the one on box A keeps trying to do DNS lookups
while the one on box B does not. How do I disable this DNS lookup?

Thanks for any info.
