Hmm. No 6 hours after posting this, the problem cleared up. I'm temped to finger the selinux-targeted-policy that I installed from updates-testing for clearing things up. That was the only change in the intervening time. As to the DNS issue. Bingo. /etc/resolv.conf to be exact still had an old IPv6 address in it. Oops. I thought that the resolver should failover and stay locked to the best dns server fast than 30 seconds. I see I'm going to have to figure out why it took so long.
