there's an old auto repair joke: when troubleshooting a poorly running
engine there are three main culprits: air, fuel, and ignition. and it's
*always* the ignition :)
troubleshooting a poorly performing linux server isn't much different. you
can look at ram, cpu, disks, and so on, but it's *always* dns.

Hey guys...need some troubleshooting help...
Symptom:
when I load my webpage from home, or my gallery, it takes literally
minutes to load. http://website/gallery for example can take upto 5
min to load.
When I'm at work, it loads great, within just a few seconds.
I've seen a similar case, long ago (details fuzzy) where the problem was
a server demanding a reverse-lookup on the requesting client which
wasn't available. (maybe httpd trying to log full hostnames but being
frustrated by timeouts on DNS hosts which weren't there.)
