Hopefully I’m not barking up the wrong tree here…

I am attempting to use unicorn as a production web server in a Windows  
environment using Ubuntu 10.04 through VirtualBox. Everything works  
great  
inside the linux environment, but the pages load really slow inside the  
windows environment, or when I access the server through another  
computer on  
the network. When I look at the log file, the requests are returned  
quickly, the pages just render slowly on the client side.

I experienced a similar problem with webrick, which I solved by changing  
this:  
:DoNotReverseLookup =\> nil,  
to this:  
:DoNotReverseLookup =\> true,  
in /usr/lib/ruby/1.9.1/webrick/config.rb

Any suggestions on how to deal with this in unicorn?

Thanks,  
Bryan
