For anyone following this thread from a few months ago, I figured
out why my DNS resolving was taking 5-7 seconds. It was the d-link
DI-624 802.11g wireless hub I am using. My DNS servers were set to
their defaults, 0.0.0.0, so I think they were probably timing out
and then forwarding the request to Qwest (no matter what I had my
computer's DNS servers set to). Log in to your hub/switch or
router, then go to WAN settings. For the d-link, click the WAN
button on the left, then the top Home button should be
highlighted. Go to "Primary DNS Address" and "Secondary DNS
Address" and enter any 2 of these addresses, I just used the first
two:
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
4.2.2.4
4.2.2.5
4.2.2.6
Hi all, I filed a bug report on this, id 4531762.
A few more details: my hub is connected to an Actiontec GT701-WG
wireless router that I have not needed to set DNS entries for. That
possibly points to the d-link as the culprit. Qwest is my ISP here
in Boise ID, and I have 1500/750 DSL. I see the problem even when
booting in safe mode. I was getting this problem in 10.4.6 on my
flat panel iMac G4 700 and I also saw this problem in 10.3.9 on my
white iBook G3 700.
OK this is really my last post on this :)
