It might be a problem with your ISP's DNS servers. My ISP has really crappy DNS. I use other DNS servers because my ISP doesnt resolve some hostnames, and is sometimes just _really_ slow to respond. try a dig on a given hostname using your ISP DNS, then using some other server. If the first one is slow and the second isnt. That's probably it. $ time dig @ns1.isp.com www.zettazebra.com $ time dig @ns1.foobar.com www.zettazebra.com -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg
