Reverse name lookups

This may seem dumb. I've looked everywhere, tried many different
things, and I can't get it to work..
Is there anyway to stop linux from doing a reverse name lookup?

I have a local caching bind system, and it's working for everything..
Here's my problem.

While I'm at work I constantly check all my email from my server at
home, but everytime Evolution (or anything) checks the mail my server at
home does the reverse name lookup on my IP from work. My employer feels
it neccessary to disable the reverse name lookup on our outbound IP
here, so there is nothing I can do from work side.
Only thing I can figure is disabling it on my machine. But after many
hours of trying this and that, I can't figure it out.. Even when I added
my work IP to my servers hosts file it did nothing..

<wimper>...help...</wimper>
I also tried the compressed ssh tunnell, which worked great becaue then
everything was secure, but it was still slow, and caused Evolution to
freak out a lot.. Since I have almost 2000 emails just from the plug on
my imap, evo was going nuts.. But if I don't use the compressed
tunnell, it works much better.
