So curl has a delay, but the "host" command doesn't (I earlier asked you
to test with "host", and you said you didn't see any problems)? That
sounds like your machine is trying some other form of hostname lookup
before DNS, and has to wait for a timeout. Do you have an
/etc/host.conf file?
Another thing to try: If you have IPv6 enabled in your Network
preferences, turn it off.
