Again, OOo uses the system BSD socket library to obtain the full qualified host
name of your localo machine. This is used to identify a machine in the network
and write this name to a lock file in the user configuration to check wether
OOo's user configuration is already used from a different machine (with the same
network home directory).

It's not OOo to decide which name service is used first, this is done by the
system which uses your system configuration. Obviously on your system a DNS
query first asks your Router which does not know your hostname (for whatever
reason) and ignores your /etc/hosts entires. This is not OOo that decides this
faulty way, it's your system configuration.

If you use a static IP address for your host and your router is not able to
return a fully qualified name for that IP address, your router isn't well
configured. And also that your /etc/hosts file is ignored is part of your system
configuration. I won't call that "standard".

Maybe your /etc/host.conf file looks like this

order bind,hosts

which would result in a DNS query on the router (or your ISP)first. Better 
would be

order hosts,bind

Anyway the fact that your router as DNS server takes so long to response is a
hint that your router isn't configured well. This has nothing to with your
systems configuration and even less with OOo. Maybe your router is playing DNS
server and you have a DNS server running on a linux machine in the same subnet.
