I am having a problem with slow DNS resolution on my gentoo system. They tend to take 5-10 seconds or so and afflict all applications, including ping.
A previous SuSE installation on the same box didn't have this problem, nor does a Mac currently on the same LAN. The Gentoo box has a fixed IP, while the mac gets its IP and DNS stuff from the local router by DHCP. However the same DNS servers are listed in the same order on both machines. I read somewhere that IPv6 could be the culprit. However I have compiled my kernel without IPv6 support and I have, to the best of my knowledge, disabled it in modules.conf. Does anybody have any other ideas that might work? Many thanks.
