Does reverse DNS work for the hosts having the problems? If you are
logged into the server, and run "host <IP of host experencing the
delay>" or "host <name of machine experencing the delay>, do you get a
"Host not found." error?
I take it the hosts are on the local network. If you are not running a
name server with zone files for the local network, or the server is not
set up to use this name server, and the local hosts are not listed in
/etc/hosts, you will experence a delay like this.
