How do you know the route is "lost"? Typing `route' will result in a slew of DNS lookups - that could be your delay. Try `route -n'. (`netstat -rn' does the same thing and has the added benefit of being in a user's default path :) If `route -n' doesn't show anything, then yes, you've got a problem.
