At a guess, it's reverse resolution (address back to name) that's not
working right. The symptoms are suggestive of that.
It's not necessarily obvious what's wrong, though, so I'd suggest
starting off by snooping the interface to find out what traffic is
involved in this delay.
Try running this in one window:
snoop -r -o /tmp/snoop.out -q
and this in another:
ping www.sun.com
Then (after the delay) terminate that snoop with ^C, and either put
the (binary) /tmp/snoop.out file somewhere that someone can look at,
or use either "snoop -i /tmp/snoop.out" or (if you have it installed)
"wireshark /tmp/snoop.out".
