I suspect your problem is that DNS is misconfigured. ping does that, and it's not generally considered a bug. Read the man page and note the -n option. Really you should debug and fix your DNS setup. Understand if you intend to run your own named, or use something else. Look at resolv.conf. Run dig, as in `dig -x 192.168.1.1`. On a working setup, you will get a NXDOMAIN for the RFC1918 addresses, and that will be reasonably quick even the first time. You are likely to need to read a fair bit about DNS and dig in order to fix this.
