That's really odd. I have a netgear 814 ( you stated yours was a 314).
Wish I had another router to try.

I don't think the issue is DNS or linux server performance, exactly. It's
probably the router doing odd things with the packets.
Roy - try pinging your server's external IP address from within the home
network. See what kind of response time and packet loss you get.
In my situation, with the exact same symptoms (see previous post), I often
get 40-50% packet loss. When downloading medium-sized files (e.g. images
from the gallery), I typically get 2-3 Kbytes/sec. - worse than dialup
speed.
Even if the packets are being sent to the cable modem, and bridged out to
the physical cable, and then back into the router, there is no excuse for
this kind of slowness, which is why I need a new router :-)

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.)
