Hi Sreangsu
With our compnay internal DNS, I get time out of 2 seconds... Don't know how to
configure it. The DNS I am running at home, I haven't configured it and I get
same behaviour i.e. it takes forever to resolve, sometimes...

I swear... But running DNS hardly helps.. I am running it on my dial up for more
than two months... It barely helps. VSNL DNS are anyway better the ETH types.
Actually VSNL is facing some problem with their international circuits, at least
in pune circle. We had net outage last week where few sites were totally down
for more than a day. In fact on saturday I could not check linuxtoday after
trying for half an hour. It used to sleep after first birst.
Situation seems better today morning...

No I never faced it. When working properly linuxtoday gives delay of around
4000-6000 ms which is around 13-15 hops away.
As I mentioned above when we (in our company) got net up after the outage, few
sites were blazingly fast. For example yahoo.co.in was giving ping delay of
6-10ms. That's way too fast but ICQ was totally down...: ((
