I've tested this on 3 machines here and if I provide IP as input the return 
is fast (no delay).

It seems that there's some bad configuration in your network.

So the question is, whether we should support these hacks for some type of 
custom problems? If this will be my program, I'll recommend you to configure 
your network in right. But in this "public" piece of code I think editing 
the code to the new look seems to be not so bad.

Any (anti) ideas? ;)
