As an additional note, if your database servers have no need to access
the internet or any internal dns, you would be good off to
comment out or remove the hosts dns entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
ie. from something like this 
   hosts: files dns
to this
   hosts: files #dns

This will remove the reverse lookups altogether for any services.

Best of luck
