Hi, I found the culprit which was avahi-daemon... By disabling avahi-daemon, gethostbyaddr() (and similarly getnameinfo()) returns instantaneously. I wonder whether avahi-daemon is enabled by default in distributions like Debian and Fedora. From this page (http://avahi.org/wiki/AboutAvahi#Distributions) it seems that avahi is included in those distributions. Maybe it is a matter of configuration then.
Regards, Babis P.S.: Thank you Rémy for suggesting strace. It is a very helpful command.
