This comes after ipconfig waitall... making me wonder...

I suspect that ipconfig would have to get host_name from netinfo.

The ipconfig getoption "" host_name command fetches the host name provided by a DHCP server if that's how you got your IP address. If you didn't get your address via DHCP or a host name wasn't provided by the server then these lines are an effective NOOP. NetInfo is not in the picture at this time.

Its seems clear that netstat -r relies on lookupd...

If you omit the "-n" option then the netstat command ends up making a bunch of calls to getnetbyaddr() to find a meaningful name for each network. Try using "netstat -rn" if you want to skip these calls.
