Try messing with dig and nslookup to verify how long it takes for the DNS lookup. This way you can also see if it is really a DNS problem or not. If it is, and your DNS server is just slow, try switching to a public server (google for that), or run a caching dnsmasq setup somewhere on the local machine or local network (I do). _______________________________________________ arch mailing list arch@archlinux.org http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
