Thanks for that, maybe that is what I was looking for, except nobody listed for backscatter. Nothing in the logs, just a minute and a half wait, which initially would have sparked a DNS issue, but all the ip's in question are reversing perfectly and quickly on the commandline and the two nameservers in resolv.conf are reachable and reacting. So, it brings me back to tarpits and i feel like my quest to get to the bottom of this has been caught in one!
