I am running RH 5.1.   When fetchmail grabs the mail from my lan mail server
it is quite slow.  I seem to remember something about dns so I checked the
resolv.conf file.  If I just have my domain and nameserver address in the
file, fetchmail grabs the mail quickly.  If I add my internet domain server
address and name fetchmail is slow.  I am sure that it is trying to find the
address of the ISP nameserver.   I am sure that I have something incorrectly
configured.  My /etc/hosts file is straight out of the book.  There is no
/etc/networks file.

Any ideas would be helpful.
