Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] name resolution cache?

[Matt Richard <m_richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a way to make Ethereal cache the addresses it has already resolved?

I loaded a trace of a udp flood, with 62,000+ packets with the same 
source and destination address.  Ethereal tried to resolve the 
addresses for each and every packet, even though they were identical.

Needless to say, it would have taken forever, so I canceled and 
re-opened it with name resolution disabled.  It opened in a matter of 
seconds after that!
