Hello all.

New to pfSense, loving the concept straight-off-the-bat!

I'm in the process of setting up the installation per our 
environment, and seem to be hitting this seemingly 
consistent issue - a slow web GUI due to lack of DNS queries 
being answered.

The machine is still in "setup mode", so it's not connected 
to the Internet. However, it seems that a quick web GUI 
loves DNS (confirmed via pfSense state table), which, 
obviously, isn't up yet. This seems to be a recurring theme 
when I Google this issue.

SSH'ing into the box has the same effect, even though 
"UseDNS no" is configured for the daemon, i.e., it takes so 
long for the password prompt to present, and on the off-
chance that it does, using the system is no good either as 
every commands seems like the box has hang.

The fix is to reboot the box, but I'll only have a 3 - 5 
minute window within which to do anything useful, and then 
it's back to being slow due to lack of DNS.

Anybody know what's really going on here?

System is pfSense-2.0.1-RELEASE for amd/64, running on HP 
Proliant DL380 G6 servers, with 2x quad-core 2.4GHz Intel 
Xeon processors, packed with 48GB of DRAM. So it's certainly 
not a resource issue.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Mark.
