This may happen even with smtp or pop3 connections.
Try putting in your /etc/hosts all the ip numbers of your local lan with
corresponding names (even bogus names).
I've the same problem with smtp and pop3 connections.
On redhat5.1 I solved it with the /etc/hosts.
With a libc5 system instead, I can't solve the problem but telling the smtp
server not to do reverse dns lookups.
