Avoid using the "*", it's a broadcast lookup on all the machines on your net,
and if your net is big it probably gets really slow.  This also means
that your lookups are affected by other machines response time to the lookup
and to the usual net timeouts blah blah blah.

Maintaining a list of hosts, or just doing local lookups would probably be
prudent at this juncture :)
