Nope. Wrong. I just changed my resolv.conf back to the IP address of
the router that ATT forced me to "upgrade" to and the delay is *gone*.
The delay I was seeing was apparently caused by something very local to
me, and suddenly vanished after two days.
The interwebz is a scary place :(
A friend of mine had a problem where half the time he tried to browse to
a URL, he would end up on a porn site. I thought it was some Windows
malware. But when booting from a USB stick with SysRescueCd on it, even
"ping google.com" would ping a porn site at first.
His modem/router combo device was infected with something that hijacked
the DNS setting. He was using a DSL-Modem/router from 2003.
It *is* a scary place.
