On my PC, Linux ezcool 2.6.22.18-1mdvcustom #1 Fri Mar 14 14:34:15 CET 2008 i686
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ GNU/Linux, Openoffice takes 42 seconds to load
with a network connection. Without the network connection it takes just 2 
seconds.

I have done a wireshark analysis of the traffic on the eth0 interface and here
is a summary of the problem:

After 1.7 seconds something, presumably Openoffice, sends a DNS Standard query A
message for the name "ezcool" to the gateway address, which is also the DNS
server address.

It seems to ignore the DNS servers in the resolv.conf file, and also the
/etc/hosts file.

This query times out after five seconds.

Then, every five seconds thereafter it sends a repeat query, seven times until
it gives up.

All of which takes 40 seconds.

Further information: "ezcool" is the name of my PC, which is on a fixed network
address, which is listed in /etc/hosts. I tried installing a DNS server on
ezcool and listed the local machine in resolv.conf.

"dig ezcool" replies with

immediately, but this made no difference since the queries listed above only
query the gateway router. Since the gateway router lists the internet DNS
servers, then ezcool will not be found there and the queries will time out.

All this activity does not seem to have any purpose since Openoffice seems to
start without any problem if the network interface is down.
